Summary:In this role I managed the Quotation and Submittal process for a handful Winsupply companies. A major focus in this role was improving some existing automation scripts I written in a previous roles at Winsupply. My automation scripts were originally written in VBA and after learning Python rewrote them and added functionality. After reaping the benefit of this enhanced automation I turned my attention to learning full stack web development. This enabled me to build solutions for other departments in the company. My first major project started as a POC written in Google App Script. After this MVP was deployed and adding value to the business, I wrote the app’s core functionality in Python using the Django framework and deployed it to AWS. I originally deployed the app on EC2 but eventually rearchitected and deployed via Api Gateway and Lambda.Highlights:• Python scripting for PDF Automation• Developed app with Google Apps Script• Built web app with Python/Django + PostgreSQL, deployed on AWS• Read and Interpreted Plumbing • Negotiated volume discounts for large projects• Prepared Commercial Plumbing Estimates• Prepared Construction Product Data Submittal Packages
