Autonomous ETL/ELT Agent for DevOps-Driven Data Engineering
Build an intelligent multi-agent system that automates end-to-end data pipeline development from requirements to production deployment. A Story-Parser agent extracts intents from natural language, a Codegen agent builds Spark/Databricks pipelines, a QA agent auto-writes tests, a DevOps agent raises pull requests, and a Deployer/Orchestrator schedules runs via Airflow/ADF. The system uses GPT/Hugging Face for requirement parsing, LangChain/Semantic Kernel for prompt-to-code translation, and Great Expectations/Delta Live for data quality enforcement. Built-in guardrails include schema validation, NULL checks, and business-rule tests via ScalaTest. Deploy cloud-ready outputs with CI/CD hooks that commit code, open PRs with test artifacts, and deploy JARs/notebooks to Databricks/Azure Synapse, supporting Parquet/CSV/Delta formats on ADLS/S3.
Intelligent Data Quality System
Create a comprehensive multi-agent data quality copilot that transforms DQ management from reactive firefighting to proactive intelligence. A Query Agent converts natural language to SQL, a Data Quality Agent evaluates completeness, consistency, timeliness, accuracy, and relevance, while a Report Agent generates HTML dashboards to surface issues rapidly. Plug-and-play connectors scan databases, data lakes, APIs, and streams with auto-profiling capabilities that detect structure, distributions, anomalies, and outliers at scale. The system delivers actionable insights with human-readable explanations and recommended fixes, extensible with an Auto-Fixer agent for closed-loop remediation. The outcome is a smart, end-to-end data quality assistant that reduces manual effort, boosts data trust, and democratizes DQ for business users.
Industry-Wide Financial Trend Analysis
Develop an agentic market intelligence pipeline that delivers always-on sector visibility through automated real-time analysis. The system auto-ingests live stock data, industry news, social sentiment, and optional macroeconomic signals to build comprehensive views of any sector. AI-powered analysis correlates sentiment with price movements and volatility to detect momentum shifts, surface risks and opportunities, and identify industry leaders versus laggards. Users can ask natural language questions like “What’s the trend in renewable energy?” and receive concise outlooks compiled from live data and NLP analysis. The system generates investor-ready HTML/PDF dashboards and summaries for short- and mid-term industry outlooks, complete with key drivers and actionable insights.
Automated Data Insights Generator
Build a chat‑based analytics copilot that lets non‑technical users ask questions in natural language and receive high‑quality textual and visual insights. You’ll implement a CSV‑to‑SQL ingestion pipeline that creates the right schemas/tables and loads datasets into a relational store, then wire up LangChain for streamlined database access and NL→SQL using the SQLDatabaseToolkit and prompt templates. The front end is a Streamlit app with conversational memory for iterative exploration, producing real‑time answers and charts. Extension tracks include adding support for MongoDB/Spark, scheduling recurring insight runs, and exporting outputs to PowerBI, Tableau, or Google Data Studio.

I highly recommend the Applied GenAI course by Interview Kickstart. The PM path was incredibly well-organized, reshaping my thinking on how to leverage Generative AI in product management. The hands-on approach, insightful curriculum, and experienced instructors made it an outstanding learning experience!

I recently completed the Applied Gen AI course at Interview Kickstart, and I couldn't be more impressed. The course was well-structured into modules, making complex concepts easier to digest. For someone without a strong programming background, I appreciated the beginner Python class they offer for non-programmers—it helped build a solid foundation. The instructors are fantastic and always go the extra mile to ensure every question is answered. They are patient and don’t rush through the material, often allowing classes to run over to ensure everyone fully grasps the concepts. One of my favorite features is the 'Expert Connect,' where you can have 1-on-1 sessions with instructors to clear any doubts. Overall, Interview Kickstart provided an exceptional learning experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to uplevel in their career.

IK is a GOD-Send to me. If you are looking to upskill or transition in your career, IK is the place to be. I joined Data Science Switchup in November-23 and I am loving the 360 degree experience which IK provides. The instructors are professionals who are currently working in the tier-1 companies so the classes have loads of real-life snippets of their experience which adds true value to students like us. The mock sessions and technical sessions helped me immensely to understand the topic at a deeper level. The Ops Team & Success Coaches are superstars who act like a true friend when you need any sort of assistance.

IK has been an integral part of my life for last seven years. Since being part of some of the early batches to most recently pursuing their ML track I have done several courses with them. What amazes me is the approachability of the staff, the proactive support team and professionalism. The material is amazing and profound. Omkar and Niloy to name a few they have amazing faculty who are very knowledgeable and are also great teachers. I can keep raving about IK. It’s definitely a boon to software engineers.
