Client work 2

I am proud of the above case study because it was an enormous undertaking. I was given a deliverable and a time limit and found a way to execute a complex report using spreadsheets and a scoring system that I came up.

However, when I was on this project, I was frustrated by the process and what was being asked. I saw a better way and the untapped potential that we could've been selling to the client.

If I were in charge of this project, I would have delivered a relational database with a front end that generates the charts and graphs needed by these executives. This would've been more scalable, accurate, repeatable, and flexible.

I spoke up at the time and went as far as to reach out on slack in hopes we had some SQL engineers on the team. I even researched the basics of data modeling in preparation for going down this path and created the gist of what I envisioned could work (see below).

I hope this story helps lend some context to my personality. I love processes, thinking of the big picture, and working smarter.
