Report back to Project Team Coordinator with daily information and help to build quarterly reports to our Client.Worked with several types of files (XML, JSON, XLIFF, etc) and developed a few Python Scripts to improve the workflow and file handling of the team I was working on, and some other production teams.Developed one particular Python Script that uses multithreading features to check for a particular parameter of a site's source code in multiple websites at a time and make a report with the output in almost no time.Created a method to define and calculate KPIs with good precision by measuring bug priorities and assigning weight to each one, but also taking into consideration the amount of bugs processed as well as the amount of resolved - leaving only the overdue as percentage lost. This idea later got to the client and it is now the way that the KPI for the Bugfixing team is being measured.Daily work included the use of several tools (on which I gained a bit of expertise in due course of time), Trados, SourceDepot, DxStudio, Team Foundation Server, among others.
