Automation Snowflake Harness Sep 2024 - Dec 2024

A capstone project (BU EC528, in collaboration with State Street) that automates the deployment and management of Snowflake resources through CI/CD pipelines. The system orchestrates creation, modification, and deletion of databases, schemas, users, roles, and warehouses using Liquibase for migration version control and Harness for CI/CD orchestration. We implemented role-based access control to safeguard credentials, built automated warehouse scaling scripts, and packaged the workflow into a reusable CLI tool ("Snowpilot") to broaden adoption beyond the original team. Cortex/ML integration was added to support advanced analytics on top of the managed Snowflake environment.
