Experience
End-to-end BI System
Using ETL pipelines (built-in Python and Pyspark), we moved transactional and operational data in daily and hourly batches to the data warehouse, making it accessible to technical users to run analytical queries on demand. We then used Amazon QuickSight to build an ecosystem of dashboards and reports to help monitor business performance metrics and KPIs, allowing business users to monitor and optimize business performance.
Customer Service Chatbot
Ted, the chatbot, was built to automate 90% of customer service interactions without compromising the quality of the customer experience. It successfully handled the increased traffic of a 400% client base expansion and eliminated the need to scale the customer service team while operating at an 80% CSAT score.
