Technologies & Architecture
The Challenge
The legacy Excel file-based setup had accumulated significant operational friction and data degradation over years of uncoordinated multi-user entries:
- Severe Data Redundancy: Identical data columns were manually replicated across multiple Excel sheets, creating synchronization conflicts.
- Duplicate & Corrupted Records: Historical worksheets contained duplicate entries, missing key fields, and unverified transactional data.
- Formula & Calculation Errors: Broken cell references and hardcoded manual overrides led to inaccurate financial and operational metrics.
- Concurrency & Locking Issues: Frequent file corruption and multi-user locking when staff attempted to update workbooks simultaneously.
Migration Engineering Process
- Schema Normalization: Extracted unnormalized Excel/Access tables and redesigned them into 3NF MySQL relational schemas.
- ETL & Data Cleansing: Scripted automated Python & PHP data pipelines to validate, deduplicate, and sanitize historical records during import.
- Web UI Implementation: Built a responsive, familiar web dashboard using Bootstrap and JavaScript that eliminated the learning curve for staff.
