Context
National tariff calculations lived in fragile Excel files: multi-sheet workbooks with cross-referencing formulas that only their authors could maintain. The Ministry needed the same mental model — sheets and formulas — as a proper system.

My role
I designed and delivered the system end-to-end using AI-assisted development, translating the analysts' Excel workflow into a web product without breaking their habits.
Process
The heart is a recursive calculation engine with cross-sheet REF formulas — implemented twice, in Python and TypeScript, with verified parity between the two. A complete multi-sheet template ships with a 9-appendix heating-tariff dataset as the seed.

Results
- 2×calc engine parity — Python & TypeScript
- 9appendices in the production tariff seed
- Livedeployed to production infrastructure
