Experience
Management Accounting System for a Holding Company
The main goal of creating the system was to obtain consolidated reporting on the holding company's projects implemented through various legal entities.
The financial analyst of the holding was performing data entry by companies with a breakdown by projects, periods, and expense items with attribution to cost and profit centers.
The user interface for the data entry was developed using MS Access forms.
The back end of the system was an MS SQL database.
Reporting was developed using MS Excel connected to the database via the pivot-tables mechanism.

XLM Data Integration Framework
The unified process of XML data integration consists of the following steps:
1. Loading the contents of XML files of various schemas into a single database table.
2. Parsing XSD files of XML schemas into a tabular format.
3. Using table (2) information to create templates for mapping source data elements to the target database structure.
4. Applying templates (3) to loaded data (1) to automatically transform source XML files data into the target relational data structure.
The implemented system made it possible to set up the daily integration of open public procurement data (zakupki.gov.ru), consisting of thousands of XML files of dozens of schemas each day.

Process Mining Solution for ITSM
The process mining (Celonis) data model was generated from digital footprints from the Axios assyst ITSM automation system.
The solution included:
1. Building local process mining data warehouse (PostgreSQL), updated hourly from production assyst system (MS SQL) using incremental sync. The sync was developed using Pentaho DI.
2. Applying transformations of source data into the process mining data model. The model contained all types of high-level ITSM tasks (incidents and change requests) and "child" tasks and decision tasks for each instance. Transformations were developed using pgSQL. The model included many additional attributes and measures obtained from the source data and calculated on the fly.
3. Setting up regular (hourly) updates of the Celonis data model using Jenkins.
