Kevin Bhatt

Computer Engineering graduate (BEng, Software Option, expected May 2026) with 16 months of co-op building production data pipelines and reporting in Python, SQL, and Azure at the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. Automated 20,000+ daily record updates across five external feeds and cut manual processing by 40%.

Intelligent Transportation Systems Engineering Associate (Co-op) at Ontario Ministry of Transportation – Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Team (2024-04 – 2025-08)

• Built and maintained Azure Data Factory pipelines that ingested and moved data from five external feeds (Waze, HERE, Border Wait Times, MDIS, UAT) across development, test, and production.
• Automated 20,000+ daily record updates and integrity checks with Python and Linux Cron, which cut manual processing by 40%.
• Wrote T-SQL and PostgreSQL stored procedures to validate and reshape incoming data for downstream reporting tables.
• Built Power BI dashboards and Python reporting that tracked pipeline health and data-quality metrics for program managers.
• Ran exploratory analysis in Python across the five feeds to catch anomalies and data drift before they reached production reports.
• Translated reporting requirements from non-technical stakeholders into data specifications, and documented data-flow diagrams and transformation logic for engineers and program staff.

Research Study Assistant at Department of National Defence (DRDC) (2024-02 – 2024-03)

• Tested augmented-reality prototypes against performance specs and collected trial data with Python and the Power Platform, then documented failure modes for the engineering team.

Infantry Corporal (Primary Reserve) at Canadian Armed Forces – Queen's Own Rifles of Canada (2022-03 – Present)

• Balance weekend and summer training with full-time study and co-op since 2022; completed PLQ Stage 2, which built accountability and steady decision-making under pressure.
• Hold Standard First Aid and CPR certification (St. John Ambulance) and maintain security-cleared reliability standards.

Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering – Software Option, 16-Month Co-op – Toronto Metropolitan University (2021-08 – 2026-05)
