In my role as a Application Support Engineer at Kenya Revenue Authority, I conduct thorough analyses of the relationship between source code and databases to identify and diagnose iTax errors and bugs reported through the ticketing system. Leveraging my SQL expertise, I developed targeted scripts and queries, addressing the root causes of iTax issues and ensuring efficient and accurate solutions.

I collaborated closely with developers and end-users, gathering requirements and feedback to develop customized SQL solutions. This not only enhanced system reliability and user satisfaction but also significantly cleared ticket backlogs and prevented further work complications.

To streamline processes, I as well developed Python scripts and automation tools, including a custom report-generation script. This initiative resulted in a remarkable 30% reduction in manual workload for the team, saving an estimated 15 hours of work per week. Additionally, I continuously updated and improved these scripts to ensure long-term automation sustainability in response to changing business needs.
