Francis Barton developed data integration and processing features across The-Strategy-Unit’s nhp_inputs and data_science repositories, focusing on improving data accessibility and reliability. He migrated lookup and NEE parameter data from RDS to CSV, centralizing data loading with R and the read_csv function to streamline dashboard performance and reduce operational risk. In the data_science repository, Francis created R Markdown-based presentation materials to document and demonstrate the sconn package’s Databricks integration, supporting stakeholder onboarding and knowledge transfer. His work emphasized robust data management, clear documentation, and traceable workflows, reflecting a methodical approach to data handling, transformation, and presentation development.
