Hgaines88/README.md

I'm Hakeem Gaines—digitally known as (h)gaines.

I'm a data engineer in Wilmington, Delaware.

I build data pipelines and applications that turn complex datasets into reliable, useful systems. My work emphasizes clear data models, validation, tested APIs, thoughtful interfaces, and secure access control.

I recently completed an intensive 1,000+ hour Data Engineering & Analytics program at Zip Code Wilmington. Before transitioning into data engineering, I spent more than eight years coordinating technical projects and teaching IT and project-management fundamentals—experience that shapes how I communicate, document, and deliver software.

Featured work

New York Digital City planning dashboard

New York Digital City

A team data-engineering capstone built with PySpark, PostgreSQL, and Streamlit. I owned the fiscal-impact workstream end to end: building its ingestion pipeline, validating records before database loading, and developing the scenario model and dashboard page.

 MediciMess banking intelligence dashboard showing cash-flow trends, monthly inflows and outflows, and financial records

MediciMess

A collaborative historical banking intelligence platform with ETL pipelines, a read-only FastAPI layer, branch-level financial KPIs, loan and cash-flow analysis, anomaly detection, and an interactive Dash interface.

Trainspotting fashion archive showing its transit-inspired masthead, discovery navigation, and designer index

Trainspotting — Fashion history in motion

A structured fashion archive with Clerk-authenticated administration and a moderated source-review workflow. I migrated its database from SQLite to MySQL, added automated backend and frontend verification, and deployed the application on Railway.
