   I lead my team’s automation efforts to build intuitive and robust tools that simplify workflows and improve data quality. My philosophy is to simplify, streamline, standardize, and automate our work so that new staff can easily be onboarded and make immediate impacts to projects that are easily managed and part of a sustainable automation plan. Utilizing my 7+ years of experience in data analytics, I drive change by establishing best practices and reducing dependency on error-prone manual work. • Team lead for all automation projects, including automating data validation that improved error correction by 99.3% while saving 60 staff hours per month. • Serve as a company-wide technical leader, identifying shortfalls to leadership and rectifying them through developing staff training, analytical tools, and other automation efforts. • Streamline and standardize data processes across platforms to be transferable and scalable while improving clarity and efficiency. • Simplified client data transfer by reducing files sent annually by over 97%, ensuring long-term file transfer sustainability. • Build analytical tools to aid non-technical staff in data entry, data processing, error detection, and data analyses. • Reduce company dependency on outside contractors by bringing automation projects in-house. • Lead data teams\' efforts to migrate code to an online version control platform so that code is backed up and easily accessible to the entire organization. • Improve staff data literacy and technical capacity by leading weekly coding training so that staff can take ownership of automation projects.
