Restructuring a working archive while preserving file integrity, references, and dated evidence.
PowerShellPythonSHA-256Data preservation
original files preserved

Original assets accounted for through an integrity-checked migration.
Data engineeringSELECT A STEP
Inventory assets, paths, sizes, and hashes before changes.
Organize the archive, repair active references, and retain original versions.
Verify migrated files and dependencies and provide a traceable record.
The problem
Client assets were scattered across dated locations, and scripts depended on old paths. A move needed to retain every original file and historical record.
My contribution
Created a permanent folder structure with dated task folders and source indexes.
Updated current script and asset references while preserving original versions.
Documented old-to-new path mappings instead of rewriting historical logs.
Evidence & scope
Compared file hashes, inspected relocated references, parsed edited scripts, and checked dependency and link integrity.
What came out of it
Completed an archive migration with original assets accounted for, dependencies repaired, and historical evidence preserved.
Delivered an organised archive with preserved evidence and a traceable migration record.
