Data Analytics

In the context of PHP roles, Data analytics involves building the backend systems and infrastructure required to perform systematic computational analysis of data. PHP developers in this field create robust applications that collect, process, and serve data for business intelligence, reporting, and strategic decision-making.

Responsibilities in Data Analytics

The primary focus is on the engineering side of analytics. A PHP developer will design and maintain ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines, build APIs to ingest data from various sources, and manage databases optimized for analytical workloads. They ensure the data is clean, accurate, and available for analysis by stakeholders or data science teams.
