Business Problem

Recurring reports were assembled by hand each cycle, consuming analyst time and introducing errors.

Solution

A set of Python and Power Automate utilities that collect, validate, and distribute reporting outputs on schedule.

Requirements

  • Scheduled extraction from multiple sources
  • Validation rules with failure alerts
  • Automated formatting and distribution
  • Run history and auditability

Architecture

  • Python scripts for extraction and transformation
  • SQL staging with validation queries
  • Power Automate for distribution and alerting
  • Cloud scheduling with logged run history

My Role

  • Documented the manual processes and failure points
  • Designed the automation and validation strategy
  • Developed and deployed the tooling
  • Monitored runs and iterated on feedback

Challenges

  • Designed workflows to handle upstream source changes and data-quality issues without silently producing incorrect outputs.
  • Built validation, logging, and failure alerts into the process so users could trust automated reporting outputs.

Lessons Learned

  • Made logging and validation part of the automation from the beginning, making failures easier to identify and troubleshoot.
  • Designed automated workflows with clear ownership and maintainability in mind rather than treating them as one-time scripts.

Business Impact

  • Reduced manual effort required to prepare and distribute recurring reports.
  • Improved reporting consistency by applying repeatable validation and transformation rules.
  • Converted repetitive reporting processes into scheduled, auditable workflows.

Future Improvements

  • AI assisted anomaly detection
  • Self service configuration UI
  • Expanded source coverage
