Business Process Automation
I primarily use Power Automate in my current role, automating numerous tasks using Power Automate Desktop and creating full integration using Power Automate cloud flows. I also use UiPath StudioX to automate tasks. I find it very intuitive. There is a great community around the product, and UiPath has a large library of free online training courses.
UiPath RPA Certificates
Data Analytics
I create data dashboards at work using Power BI. Using Power Automate, I create flows that automate the data source updates and dashboard refreshes. I also create tutorials for using both tools, found on my YouTube channel Jibbs Automations. You can view my Power BI portfolio here.
Excel VBA and Office Scripts
I learned VBA by going through Leila Gharani's Excel VBA and Macros course on Udemy and then by simply doing. I have created dozens of macros which I use on a regular basis at work. I found that macros and office scripts work well for automating certain steps in Power Automate and UiPath, so I have incorporated many macros into my flows, with more being added as I build out more automations.
Process Flows
I use MS Visio to create flow chart diagrams, to support the bots and flows I create at work. You can view a sampling of these on my Automation Portfolio page.
Agile PM
On my current team, we use Jira to manage tasks/projects. I have always enjoyed agile projectment management as a method for keeping my work organized, and Jira is very useful for that. I also use Notion, OneNote, and SharePoint for documenting processes and staying organized.
Entrepreneurship & business
