Collections (iDigBio) project. Design, implement and support complex ETL mappings to migrate large data volumes from heterogeneous source
systems into a central NoSQL data store. Develop and use tools to perform data analytics, data manipulation, and reporting according to data
consumer needs, and participate in the design of new or changing data mappings and workflows, evolving the iDigBio data model as data

collaborators and end users on the cloud and software resources created. Liaise with developers and users of biological collection
management systems providing data to iDigBio to gain an understanding of data requirements and functionality, to address data transformation
issues, to develop tools that facilitate data quality improvement, and to enable bi-directional data flows.
