Problem
Scenario
You inherit a recurring reporting process that is still being run by hand. Each cycle, someone exports data from operational systems, cleans it in spreadsheets, applies business rules, and sends out a final report. You want to replace that with a repeatable pipeline so the output is faster, easier to audit, and less error-prone.
Question
Describe a time you automated a manual reporting process using code.
What this tests
- Batch ETL design for recurring reporting
- Workflow orchestration and dependency management
- Data quality checks and reconciliation
- Ability to replace spreadsheet logic with code
