Sales Performance Analysis

To analyze COVID-19 public health data to identify trends and provide actionable insights for healthcare decision-makers using Apache Spark and Big Data tools, I processed and analyzed datasets of public health units (PHUs), covering key metrics such as active cases, resolved cases, deaths, and resource accessibility. I identified regions with the highest and lowest percentages of active COVID-19 cases, aiding targeted resource allocation. I achieved efficient processing of large datasets with Spark SQL and PySpark, optimizing query performance and reducing execution time. I created a dashboard summarizing trends, highlighting regions with critical resource needs. I learned to handle complex, multi-dimensional datasets and ensure data integrity during ETL processes. I gained hands-on experience in Big Data frameworks like Apache Spark and Python for scalable data analytics. I discovered regional disparities in healthcare resources and trends, emphasizing the importance of data-driven public health strategies. I improved my skills in visualizing data for stakeholder communication and actionable insights. Apache Spark, PySpark, Data Cleaning, Big Data Visualization, Spark SQL, Data Analysis
