# Data Governance

> Selected Engineer ApS work demonstrating Data Governance — the achievements that prove it.

- [Designed a comprehensive infrastructure framework for DTU impacting 14 departments, featuring flexible modules, unified data pipelines, and structured support strategies for long‑term adoption.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/designed-a-comprehensive-infrastructure-framework-for-dtu-impacting-3/)
- [Accelerated geographical data pipeline performance by 50x by improving SQL programming and data modeling across PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and Google Cloud BigQuery.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/accelerated-geographical-data-pipeline-performance-by-50x-by-5/)
- [Resolved 1,000 issues in geographical data and time‑series data, using GDAL, ArcGIS, PostGIS, Mapbox, QGIS, SQL (PL/pgSQL, Transact‑SQL), Bash, ensuring high‑quality big data processing.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/resolved-1-000-issues-in-geographical-data-and-7/)
- [Released 500 electricity and GIS data analysis reports, utilizing deep research and troubleshooting to ensure accurate geographic and time series big data insights.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/released-500-electricity-and-gis-data-analysis-reports-11/)
- [Architected, created, and managed 100 PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and Google BigQuery data warehouse databases with primarily GIS and time‑series data, optimizing performance and scalability.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/architected-created-and-managed-100-postgresql-ms-sql-12/)
- [Gathered and analyzed business requirements to translate into actionable features and user stories aligned with data governance standards.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/gathered-and-analyzed-business-requirements-to-translate-into-31/)
- [Engineered 600 PL/pgSQL‑based ETL/ELT pipelines to streamline complex data processing workflows across multiple PostgreSQL development and production environments.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/engineered-600-pl-pgsql-based-etl-elt-pipelines-54/)
- [Designed a PostgreSQL function‑first data layer — 1,275 stored functions across 34 schemas — so every read and write goes through a function the database can grant, rather than through a table.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/designed-a-postgresql-function-first-data-layer-across-63/)
- [Implemented a catalogue‑driven deep‑merge for stored JSON preferences, preventing missing‑key crashes as the schema evolves.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/implemented-a-catalogue-driven-deep-merge-for-stored-65/)
- [Modeled the maritime domain into 348 normalized tables across 34 PostgreSQL schemas — professionals, companies, ships, jobs, reviews and the rest — with SMALLINT lookups and UUID v7 keys.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/modeled-the-maritime-domain-professionals-companies-ships-jobs-67/)
- [Kept the schema honest across 1,022 migrations with a CI gate that builds the database both ways — a fresh install, and an install plus every migration — and fails when the two disagree.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/kept-the-schema-honest-across-1022-migrations-99/)
- [Built first‑party product analytics in PostgreSQL — 47 functions over partitioned event tables that prune themselves — pseudonymised behind a rotating salt and gated on the visitor's consent.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/built-first-party-product-analytics-in-postgresql-101/)
- [Built the hiring marketplace and the seafarer career workspace — 151 stored functions across 48 tables — covering vacancies, applications, certificates, rank progression and verified sea time.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/built-the-hiring-marketplace-and-career-workspace-107/)
- [Wrote a scope rule into the repository after a restructure carried another company's inventory, firewall allowances and prose into it — and kept the quarantined residue under the secret scanner rather than excluding it.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/wrote-a-scope-rule-after-a-credential-leak-124/)
- [Replaced 963 anonymous structured‑data blocks that restated the company 1,671 times with one linked graph of 16 types minted from stable origin identifiers.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/replaced-963-structured-data-blocks-with-one-graph-138/)
- [Wrote tests for the checkers themselves after establishing that a checker fed only clean input will one day report clean because it read nothing — planting a misspelling to confirm the spell‑check finds it, and taking an id range from the database rather than from a number in the test.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/wrote-tests-for-the-checkers-themselves-149/)
- [Moved every user‑facing string out of Python into a content tree of 874 files across three languages, after finding dead translations nobody could see were dead and a check silently grading a third of the achievements.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/moved-every-user-facing-string-into-a-content-tree-152/)
- [Built a cross‑language content check that fails when a translation drops a figure the English states, and when a language uses notation it does not use — finding two Danish descriptions missing a metric and sixteen Ukrainian spans quoting in the English style.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/built-a-cross-language-figure-and-notation-check-153/)
- [Audited 644 Rust crates for licence compatibility on every build, and proved the check fires by rewriting one crate's licence and by moving the pinned core revision without regenerating.](https://engineer.company/portfolio/audited-644-rust-crates-for-licence-compatibility-163/)
