Database Experiences
I have worked with databases like Oracle, MongoDB, and Microsoft Access, which I used for managing data in different business situations. In a manufacturing company, I used Oracle Database to manage the supply chain process. The system tracked vendor details, raw materials inventory, shipment schedules, and other information. Oracle was good for handling very large datasets, so we were able to manage workflows with multiple suppliers. You could search the database, too, to optimize the procurement process by bringing up supplier performance. We would try to minimize delays so that materials were available just in time for production.
At another company, I worked with MongoDB, which is a NoSQL database. We would store and analyze customer behavior data. MongoDB made it easy to handle unstructured data, such as user activity logs from the company's mobile app. We were able to track how customers interacted with the platform. We could also identify which products were most popular with users, and then we could personalize user experiences. For example, we developed personalized product recommendations based on browsing patterns and purchase history. The ability to scale horizontally with MongoDB also let us handle large volumes of data during peak shopping seasons.
With the same company, we also started up a project management solution using Microsoft Access. The database tracked project timelines, task assignments, client billing information, and other things like that. These were mainly small-scale functions, and Access was sufficient and easy to use and fairly cost-effective. We used forms to streamline data entry and built reports to track project progress. We were able to make sure deadlines were met and that project costs lined up with budgets. This setup actually helped the company manage multiple client projects at the same time.
