Developing an internal Application with AppSheet and Java Script to streamline the collection and storage of recommendation data from various sources for Google Play. This too will leverage AI libraries and generate forecasting statistics, empowering managers to prioritize engineering resource allocation based on data-driven insights.• Developed a centralized database within 4 weeks, streamlining data access and analysis across various tools and from manual input sources. This will improve data flow and reduced manual effort of teams having to switch between tool and other interfaces to access what was once related data siloed in different tools.• Spearheaded the development of the first AppSheet app within 4 weeks and demonstrated its functionality to users and leadership. This application integrates data intake and dashboards for the first time, providing a centralized view for improved decision-making.
