Optimized data storage and retrieval by migrating from MongoDB to a relational DB in Postgres that improved data aggregation speeds by greater than 90%, and a month's worth of data was reduced from 280MB to 16MB.

Using Django's built-in ORM I designed the relational database for a web app for hospitals to conform to interpreter policies. I also wrote RESTful API endpoints and AJAX requests for the front-end.
