My Portfolio

My Projects

Here are my first two projects. I hope to add to this section soon. Please stay tuned!

Watch me explain how I was able to automate billing for a client using the Order Desk API, Python and MySQL. I was able to automate a manual process to save a bundle of time while making billing more accurate. This project uses pandas, json, sqlalchemy, requests, regular expressions, openpyxl libraries and more in Python. View the source code on Github: https://github.com/tedutter/OrderDeskAPI

This is a basic sales dashboard created in Power BI. This report captures top performing products, brands and vendor booths at the event. Also shown is the best customers and best selling reigns and districts. Visit my Github page to get all the details on this project including the SQL queries for cleaning and analysis: https://github.com/tedutter/TradeShow
