Automation Case Study

NullCal

Scheduling and execution automation designed to reduce manual coordination, preserve visibility, and keep delivery checkpoints stable.

Impact Metrics

62%

Less manual coordination work in weekly planning cycles.

3.5h

Average weekly time saved through automation workflows.

0

Critical sprint checkpoints missed in release simulations.

Problem

Team planning depended on manual reminders and follow-up messages, which caused timeline drift and inconsistent execution under pressure.

My Role

I built scheduling automation routines, idempotent task-state handling, and reporting hooks for operational visibility.

Stack

  • Linux
  • Bash
  • Cron
  • Git
  • JSON

Architecture

  • Event-driven scheduling layer for recurring checkpoints.
  • Task-state persistence with retry-safe updates.
  • Notification + reporting hooks for execution visibility.

Outcome

Converted repetitive planning operations into reliable automation flows, reducing human overhead while keeping control and traceability high.
