Method

  • Established consistent Jupyter Notebook standards, developing the first reference implementation used to guide consistent delivery across future Data Science work.
  • Built and implemented a centralised work allocation and tracking process, improving visibility of ownership, workload and delivery progress across the team.
  • Led technical reviews across code, analytical notebooks, data visualisations and documentation, providing actionable feedback and driving quality improvements before release.
  • Mentored team members on Git/GitHub, pull request workflows, code quality and technical troubleshooting, supporting issues through to resolution.
  • Worked cross-functionally with Web Development and Quality Management teams to translate requirements, resolve technical dependencies and coordinate deliverables.
  • Improved repository and delivery workflows by introducing clearer release structures and processes for managing reviewed and completed work.
