Work Experience
Software Developer Intern - Systems Plus Pvt Ltd
Developed an Internal Automation Tool
I spearheaded the development of an internal tool to automate the invoicing process for the captive team at Systems Plus. This tool significantly reduced manual data entry, leading to a 60% increase in processing speed and a marked decrease in errors.
Technology Stack
The project was built using the Django framework, leveraging a Python backend to handle data processing and business logic. For the frontend, I utilized HTML/CSS to create a user-friendly interface, ensuring seamless interaction for non-technical users. The project was securely hosted on the company's internal server, complying with all internal data protection protocols.
Excel Automation with 'openpyxl'
The tool integrated with 'openpyxl' to automatically generate and populate Excel sheets with invoice data. This automation streamlined the generation of invoices, reducing the time taken from hours to minutes and allowing the team to handle a higher volume of invoices efficiently.
Impact
By automating the invoicing process, the tool enhanced the team's productivity, improved accuracy in financial reporting, and allowed the company to reallocate resources to more strategic tasks. The successful deployment of this tool demonstrated the value of automation in routine processes and laid the groundwork for future automation projects within the company.
