Is incredibly important to me. I’m very grateful that I’m able to do what I love to do.
So what it is that I do?
I automate.
I automate the REPEtitive tasks that people do, like generating reports, sending emails, data scraping huge amounts of data etc. I’m using mainly RPA tools UiPath, Helpsystems Automate and Power Automate to build automations. To connect the automatized solution in one coherent solution I can also develop PowerShell scripts, write WPF programs with GUI using C#, do advanced SQL queries or database administration – whatever is needed.
Once a year I’m a guest lecturer at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Economics and Business where I talk to fifth-year students about RPA, AI, process mining, what it means in todays society and what could we do in near future.
I’ve done projects for clients from from private and public sector but my main body of work consists of clients in financial sector. Obviously I can’t share what I’ve done professionally, but I can show you something I’ve done privately.
Let’s take a closer look:
As you can find on Gumemanija page I’m building a Web shop and in-parallel improve back-office processes to be optimized when the site launches. Here’s one sample of automated process:
Human populates Excel table with links to the pictures of tires and after completion starts the robots. What robot does is:
For every image in Excel
1. Go to image of tire
2. Download and put into set folder
3. Do image transformations (resize, watermark, rename)
4. Upload all images to Web shop
You can see it in action here:
Another process is joining tables from multiple Excel files. Sometimes columns have different name, but same meaning (and sometimes different unit or unit representation). Robot automatically joins tables even with different column names that can change through time, generates and adds SKU to each product then deletes the duplicates based on preset in configuration file. I could show it here, but all what we wouldn’t see anything as it’s done in the background.
