Experience
Stakeholder Mapping Tool
Robotic Process Automation Tool
The tool consumes this file and has a start and stop functionality with a progress bar to track completion status. The device comes with fail-safe recovery features to account for connectivity drops, accidental run interruption, etc. It can pick up and continue the run from any point with very stable performance.
After I completed the automation run, the tool also exports and compiles the run results into a single comprehensive Excel report with a summary page and statistics charts. The tool was fully developed three weekends and distributed as an executable file to other consultants across the region, which works out of the box. It was a phenomenon within the consulting department as it improved the productivity of every consultant by hundreds of hours, allowing a short turnaround time for clients to generate forecasting reports. Such RPA tools usually take a full team of business/system analysts, engineers, and testers to design, implement and test.
Set up Microsoft for a Non-profit Organization
APAC Electric Vehicle Readiness Analysis
https://github.com/enAnne/WorkSamplesThe data is scraped using Python, Selenium, and API requests from various online sources: ChargeMaps, HERE, anywhere (Thailand), EVStation (Malaysia), Naver (Korea), NewMotion, NZ Transport Agency (New Zealand), Open Charge Map, OpenStreetMap, PlugShare, and PlugSurfing, among others.
The data collected are charging station locations and the connectors available in each area in JSON format, then flattened into tables and cleansed and standardized across all data sources.
The complexities faced in this project are data availability, data duplicity, and data quality. When the same point of interest (POI) exists in different sources, they vary slightly in naming, coordinates, connector counts, etc., posing a challenge to identify the most accurate source of truth for the unique POI record. This has been addressed in innovative ways to develop a comprehensive dashboard.
End-to-end Employee HSS Survey Tool and KPI Reports
Within the Power BI report, there is also an embedded Power Apps table that allows managers to drill down into survey responses that require attention and then mark them as action required. It has a built-in feature to export the list of actions required items into an Excel document which gets emailed to the manager.
