I slashed a 3-week manual workflow to 3 minutes by developing an automated VBA macro to aid in the STPA process. I improved analysis consistency across Safety Analysts and ported the VBA process into a bare-bones Python backend framework for the companies software engineers to use when they begin developing their own inhouse tool.

I desgined and developed an automated data pipeline to extract data from a MariaDB database and process over 5,000 client locations. This pipeline was integrated into the company's main KPI dashboard to improve operational planning through a geospatial visualisation model. My work culminated in developing an automated tracking algorithm that aided the companies lawyers in halving the debt recovery timeline for over a 1,000 cases.
