1. Data Querying and Analysis with SQL

  • Developed and Engineered Queries: I created and optimized SQL queries to extract key company metrics, such as sales trends and customer demographics, which were crucial for strategic decision-making.
  • Researched possibilities to extrapolate the findings of queries that organized the upcoming reminders in the company database to send automated emails reminding customers of their upcoming events
  • See: Queries

2. Email Design and Template Testing

  • Template Design: Designed and implemented email templates for our campaigns, including reminder emails that aligned with our brand’s voice and aesthetics.
