Shows an agent-based pipeline that combines an input parser, Gemini Flash 2.5, a canonical JSON intermediate, and output parsers to auto-translate legacy ETL exports into target code, documentation and Terraform infra. Validation uses YAML-driven table and column tests (counts, means, nulls, duplicates) and an agent that auto-generates config, plus a synthetic data agent for end-to-end testing. Translation time drops from ~15 days to under 3 minutes and full migration from 5–7 days to under an hour.
