SQL Data Engineering: Cleaning & Structuring the EV Dataset
Before building the frontend visualizations, I handled the end-to-end data engineering and cleaning for the Electric Vehicle population data using PostgreSQL/SQL syntax within DBeaver.
Technical Database Operations Performed:
Data Auditing & Profiling: Utilized SELECT DISTINCT queries across core categorical fields (County, City, State) to identify structural inconsistencies, data entry anomalies, and trailing whitespaces.
Schema Alteration: Executed ALTER TABLE commands to structurally expand the staging database layout, introducing new calculated columns like State_Name to handle descriptive data mapping.
Conditional Data Standardization: Wrote robust, multi-conditional UPDATE scripts paired with extensive CASE WHEN logic to map and standardize short state abbreviations into full, clean geographical records (e.g., transforming 'ak' to 'Alaska', 'ca' to 'California').
Optimization for BI: Structured the final staging views to minimize overhead, ensuring seamless, high-performance importing and star-schema modeling once connected to Power BI.
