Accomplishments
One of my greatest accomplishments was to transform a fully manual process of collecting survey data, cleaning the data, and compiling a substantial annual report into an automated process. The project was broken down into parts: data collection and loading, data hygiene and transformation, data analysis and visualization. Formstack, MS SQL Server, DBFront and python were utilized for data collection, loading, hygiene and transformation. Tableau was utilized for data analysis and visualization. It was a tedious project overall but the completion has yielded years of efficient data exploration, expansion, and speedy turn around.
