Summary

Built an internal n8n chatbot answering staff questions from 50+ product, policy and compliance documents, handling 200+ queries and keeping an estimated 50% from reaching upper management. Consolidated customer review forms, end-of-period stock counts and in-branch category comparisons gathered across all branches into a Power BI dashboard, then defined 7 KPIs that scored 276 vendors and flagged 46 long-term underperformers for review. Layered ABC-XYZ classification onto the vendor scoring system to sort suppliers into tiers and match support to potential, cutting 5 vendors after repeated issues and growing mid-tier vendor sales 20% through shelf-space moves and in-store pop-ups.

Results

  • Built a RAG pipeline handling 40 queries daily, reducing management escalations by 50%.
  • Defined 7 KPIs to score 276 vendors and identify 46 underperformers.
  • Grew mid-tier vendor sales by 20% through strategic shelf-space moves and pop-ups.
  • Developed a large-scale Supply Chain Forecasting Model in Excel (~8.9MB) to optimize inventory planning.
  • Built an interactive HTML POS Sales Analysis dashboard for real-time operational insights.
  • 40 queries/day via RAG-based n8n chatbot, reducing management escalation by 50%.
  • Cut 5 underperforming vendors after repeated issues.

Summary

Automated the inventory system in Google Apps Script so daily POS data triggered stock-level checks and pushed replenishment orders to vendors in real time, cutting weekly stock-outs to 6% and lifting order accuracy 11%. Redesigned the operational data collection process, restructuring 4 vendor forms and 25+ free-text fields into standardised, validated inputs, which cut the cleaning work before each reporting cycle by roughly 60%. Rebuilt weekly reporting as a Google Apps Script pipeline (Forms → Sheets → Power BI), replacing 100+ manual entries a week and the transcription errors that came with them.

Results

  • Cut weekly stock-outs to 6% and lifted order accuracy by 11%.
  • Reduced data cleaning work by approximately 60%.
  • Replaced 100+ manual entries per week by automating the reporting pipeline.

Projects

Startup Funding Data Quality Monitor

Data Quality Engineeracademic
Designed a PostgreSQL data-quality suite over a startup funding dataset (companies, rounds, investors), with automated checks for completeness, freshness, duplicates, and referential integrity across ~50K records. Wrote 30+ assertion queries using CTEs and window functions to catch null critical fields, stale records past an SLA threshold, fuzzy-duplicate company entities, and round amounts falling outside plausible ranges. Logged every failed check to an audit table feeding a domain-level coverage scorecard, cutting the records failing at least one quality check from 12% to under 2% across three cleanup passes.

Automated Data-Quality Audit Loop

Developerpersonal
Built an agent loop in Claude Code that walks each data domain in turn, runs a defined check suite, and retries or escalates on failure, so a full audit runs from one command rather than a manual pass. Specified the checks in CLAUDE.md as reusable skills, so adding a domain means writing its rules instead of editing the runner, and every run applies the same standard. Wrote each run to a dated markdown summary and an append-only log, turning coverage and failure counts into a week-over-week trend rather than a snapshot.

Report Quality Scoring on the NUFORC Dataset

Data Scientistpersonal
Engineered 40 features across 125,290 NUFORC sighting reports in R, scoring each record on data sufficiency, internal consistency and red-flag indicators using AARO's FY24 evaluation criteria as the framework. Clustered the scored reports with k-means, using elbow and silhouette diagnostics to settle on three tiers, which separated the 9.4% of records too sparse to analyse from the 19.7% detailed enough to warrant investigation. Fitted an rpart decision tree to make the tiers explainable, showing that internal consistency, text coherence and red-flag score alone account for 80% of the classification.

Vibe-Coded Vintage Literature Library ("shelf")

Creative Lead & Developerpersonal
A full-stack digital bookshelf and reading-progress app (deployed as the Vintage Literature Library). Features a custom 'ShelfEngine' for library management and 'FallingWords' for interactive physics-driven text animations. Implements a unique 'book chooses the reader' recommendation system where users answer questions based on story scenes; recommendations are made if the user's decisions align with the protagonist's. Built with a focus on 'vibecoding' to bridge the gap between intricate design and functional code.

Q&A

In Taha’s own words.

How do you handle AI's creative limitations?

When AI tools fail to capture the 'compassion' or intricacy of a vision—like the book covers for my library project—I step in manually. I use Figma, Blender, and curated inspiration to ensure the final output maintains its soul and aesthetic integrity. AI is the partner, but I am the architect.

What kind of data projects actually excite you?

I'm driven by 'meaningful mysteries.' Instead of standard cohort segmentations, I want to dive into environmental data, government systems, or unique creative challenges where the data tells a story that needs a technologist's eye to uncover.

What drives the work

Motivations

  • Meaningful mysteries (Environment, Government, Social Impact)
  • Creative expression through code
  • Building tools that provide access and record

Objectives

  • Transition into Creative Technologist roles
  • Work on high-impact social/environmental data projects
  • Relocate to Europe (Amsterdam/Berlin) or the US

Principles

  • Creative Technology
  • Meaningful Data Experiences
  • Continuous Learning
  • Art-AI Intersection
