DataGrid Automation – Bulk Data Platform

Bulk data handling without the chaos.

A web-based platform for importing, cleaning, validating, and exporting large volumes of technical and operational data.

Overview

DataGrid Automation is designed for teams who live in spreadsheets but need more structure, control, and reliability. It provides a structured environment for importing, reviewing, correcting, and exporting large engineering and operational datasets — without losing the flexibility that spreadsheets offer.

The Problem

Large engineering projects involve thousands of rows of equipment data, instrument lists, and project deliverables — often managed across disconnected spreadsheets. Data errors are caught late, if at all. Changes are hard to trace. Exporting to downstream systems is manual and fragile. The result is repeated rework, missed errors in critical data, and no clear audit trail.

The Approach

DataGrid provides a spreadsheet-like interface with filters, sorting, and inline edits. Automated validation rules catch missing or inconsistent values as data is entered or imported. AI-assisted suggestions surface common corrections and detect patterns that simple rules miss. The platform supports import and export to multiple project and system-specific formats, with a clear audit trail for every change.

My Role

Defined the user journeys for bulk import, review, edit, and export. Worked out validation strategies that combine deterministic rules with AI-assisted checks. Designed how error states, warnings, and suggestions are surfaced — ensuring users can act on issues quickly without being overwhelmed.

Impact & Outcomes

Less manual checking across large datasets. Fewer hidden errors reaching downstream systems. Clearer, auditable workflows for changes and approvals — with full traceability from import to export.
