IoT Telemetry Pipeline

โ†—

Real-hardware telemetry for a mushroom fruiting chamber: an ESP32-C6 publishes 7 environmental sensors over MQTT into a decoupled, containerized stack.

Live dashboard → grafana.lukapokrajac.com

  • Normalized heterogeneous sensor topics into one canonical event schema.
  • Decoupled ingestion from storage with a Kafka stage so the producer never blocks on the DB.
  • Containerized Kafka (KRaft) + Grafana with an auto-provisioned PostgreSQL source for one-command setup.
  • Custom PlatformIO/C++ firmware for an ESP32-CAM, converting RGB565 frames to JPEG in software.
  • ESP32
  • ESPHome
  • MQTT
  • Kafka
  • PostgreSQL
  • Grafana
  • Docker

Wear Index ETL Pipeline

โ†—

Fully automated hourly ETL that ingests live Open-Meteo weather data and computes a custom “feels-like” index, deployed to AWS.

Live demo → wear.lukapokrajac.com

  • Custom index from rolling-window averages and wind-chill logic.
  • Idempotent incremental loads with 3-hour overlap and PostgreSQL UPSERT โ€” zero duplication.
  • Orchestrated with hourly Airflow DAGs; auto-refreshed materialized views for instant querying.
  • Two Docker Compose stacks on a shared network; one-command setup via Makefile.
  • Production instance on AWS EC2 with persistent PostgreSQL on RDS.
  • Airflow
  • PostgreSQL
  • Docker
  • AWS EC2

E-commerce Analysis

โ†—

Exploratory analysis of the Olist Brazilian e-commerce dataset, turning messy relational data into actionable business insight.

View notebook → ecomm.ipynb

  • Merged and cleaned multiple relational tables with pandas; resolved missing values and inconsistent timestamps.
  • Delivery-performance analysis comparing estimated vs. actual dates to find logistics bottlenecks.
  • matplotlib visualizations of price distributions and delivery-delay patterns.
  • Python
  • pandas
  • matplotlib
  • EDA
