• Automation & Customization: Utilize scripting and technical logic to automate data flows and enhance system behavior.
• Testing & QA: Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure the solution is robust and error‑free.

Knowledge Transfer

• Client Empowerment: Train client administrators to become power users who can manage their own feedback cycles independently.
• Content Creation: Develop tailored user guides, training videos, and documentation specific to the client’s unique setup.

• Microsoft Excel: Expert‑level skills (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, Power Query) for advanced data cleansing and mapping.
• SQL: Strong skills in querying and data manipulation for complex reporting.
• Web Technologies: Proficiency in HTML/CSS and a solid understanding of APIs and SSO.
• Exceptional ability to explain complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders (e.g., HR Directors or Faculty Deans).
