Tools I use include Tableau, Python, Share Point, SAP Ariba, SQL (Hadoop) and Excel.Tableau: Built over a dozen dashboards for businesses to view data related to performance and operational metrics, spend, quality assurance data and PO/Invoice/Requisition details. I have also leveraged Tableau's data join and visualization abilities to streamline several processes. In once case, I was able to reduce the FTE hours from ~6 hours over several days to less than 1 minute. Python: I have used Python in multiple instances to cleanse and prepare (at times multiple) excel files for audits or other similar reviews. Python programs have reduced the time needed to manually complete such tasks by 60-99%. In 3 use-cases, one of my programs reduced time to complete from 15 minutes manually to less than 5 minutes (~66.6%), in another, a 10 minute task was reduced to 4.9 seconds (-99.99%), and finally a 3.5 hour task was reduced to 2 minutes (-99%). Share Point: Used Info Path and Share Point Designer 2013 to largely automate a follow-up-heavy process to considerably reduce the number of FTE hours required to off-board third parties. The Share Point solution also rendered obsolete a manually updated excel spreadsheet that was extremely prone to error and stale data. SAP Ariba: Lead reporting SME using the Ariba reporting tool. I have built dozens of reports to assist the Procurement, AP and Accounting teams better understand their pipelines and analyze their data. Hadoop: Store large data files (> 100,000 rows) for the team. Using SQL, I am able to parse the data down further and create more efficient excel files for analysis, and I can use Hadoop as a data source with Tableau to display large data files much faster than if they were in an excel format.
