Technical

From raw inputs to working systems.

I build the connections between collecting data and putting it to use: sensor experiments, database pipelines, review tools and automated reports. These projects trace that work from the input to the interface.

Selected Systems

Collection / Processing / Review

Environmental Sensor and ML Experiment

An experiment collecting temperature and humidity data to test models of air-conditioning use.

Built a sensor-to-SQL workflow and tested statistical and predictive methods for air-conditioning decisions.

Records and Exception Monitoring

A shared review interface for recurring records, scheduled checks and potential gaps across separate workflows.

Brought missing records and potential gaps into one place for review and follow-up.

Record Matching and Verification

A review dashboard combining event logs, OCR-aware fuzzy matching and structured investigation of inconsistent identifiers.

Made repeated records and recognition mismatches easier to investigate in a structured review view.

Browser-Based Workflow Capture

A Chrome extension connecting structured checklist entry with an existing reporting workflow.

Simplified checklist entry while keeping the existing reporting workflow in place.

Automated HDB Trends Reporting

A monthly reporting workflow combining HDB resale transactions, town-level geography, and generated summaries.

Produced repeatable price comparisons and town-level summaries with less manual report assembly.

Technical Case Studies

Data Pipelines and Experiments

Recurring Report Automation

A Python and SQL pipeline that standardised inputs from several sources and generated recurring reporting outputs.

Reduced manual report assembly and made recurring outputs more consistent.

Decision-Support Dashboards

A shared reporting interface bringing external indicators and internal performance measures into one review workflow.

Brought recurring external and internal indicators into a shared reporting interface.

Home SQL Server for Sensor Inputs

A Raspberry Pi server I built with Apache, PHP, and MariaDB to collect sensor readings for analysis.

Set up a self-hosted database that received sensor readings and made them available for analysis.

Daily Stock Data Ingestion Pipeline

An R workflow that collected daily stock data, joined company information, and wrote derived features to SQL for dashboards.

Created a repeatable daily feed of market data and derived features for SQL-backed dashboards.

Open Case

Live Feedback Pipeline From Google Forms to SQL

A scheduled R pipeline moving new Google Form responses into SQL Server for Power BI reporting.

Kept feedback dashboards updated within minutes of submission without paid middleware.

Open Case

Sensor Uptime Monitoring Dashboard

A dashboard checking sensor posting times, missing readings, and delays in a SQL data feed.

Helped identify late or unstable sensors before their missing data affected analysis.
