Join LaSalle Network for a 3-week project to assist with a large-scale data migration. You will be responsible for writing simple scripts (in Python or JavaScript) to automate data entry and validation tasks. This role is perfect for a junior developer or computer science student looking to apply their scripting skills to a real-world business problem. You will help ensure data is transferred accurately and efficiently between systems.

This project is centered on supporting a critical data migration initiative. The core task is to move a large volume of structured data from a legacy system to a new platform. Manual data entry would be slow and prone to errors, so your role is to automate as much of this process as possible.

Your Contributions

• Analyze Data Formats: Review the source and destination data schemas to understand the required transformations.
• Write Automation Scripts: Develop simple scripts using a language like Python or JavaScript to read data from source files (e.g., CSV, JSON), perform necessary transformations, and prepare it for import.
• Data Validation: Create scripts to validate the migrated data, checking for completeness, accuracy, and proper formatting.
• Execute and Monitor: Run your scripts and monitor the migration process, troubleshooting any errors that arise.
• Documentation: Briefly document your scripts and the processes you followed.

This is a hands-on role that requires careful attention to detail and a problem-solving mindset. You will work closely with a project manager who will provide guidance and support. It's an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in data handling and automation.

• Basic proficiency in a scripting language like Python or JavaScript.
