Workflow Systems

AI Automation

PythonOpenAIStreamlitSlackGoogle Sheets

Problem

Small teams often lose time to repetitive coordination, intake, and follow-up tasks.

What I built

Designed lightweight AI workflow concepts for small businesses and community organizations.

Impact

Turns scattered requests into cleaner systems people can actually use.

Time Series

Forecasting

PythonAzure MLETSSARIMAXMLflow

Problem

Business leaders need more than a chart. They need uncertainty, context, and decision-ready signals.

What I built

Built reusable forecasting patterns with model comparison, intervals, and monthly monitoring logic.

Impact

Improves planning by separating normal variation from meaningful change.

Product Build

Inventory SaaS

StreamlitGoogle SheetsPythonPandas

Problem

Inventory updates often live in messy spreadsheets, photos, and memory.

What I built

Created a Streamlit app with image-based item selection, usage logging, and admin dashboards.

Impact

Makes inventory easier to update in the moment and easier to analyze later.

Object Detection

Computer Vision

YOLOPythonFlaskComputer Vision

Problem

Out-of-stock shelves are costly, but manual detection is slow and inconsistent.

What I built

Trained a YOLO-based object detection model using crowdsourced images and deployed a demo app.

Impact

Reached strong detection performance across varied shelf types and visual conditions.

Experimentation

A/B Testing

StatisticsExperiment DesignPythonSQL

Problem

Teams often want to test ideas but lack the structure to know what is measurable or valid.

What I built

Developed learning notes and frameworks for experiment design, metrics, and interpretation.

Impact

Helps teams ask sharper questions before investing in solutions.

Decision Support

Dashboards & Storytelling

Power BITableauPythonSQL

Problem

Many dashboards show numbers but fail to guide action.

What I built

Created reporting concepts with executive callouts, KPI context, and clean visual hierarchy.

Impact

Makes insights easier to understand, trust, and act on.
