Accomplishments

Engineered a secure, full-stack timesheet application using Google Apps Script to replace an insecure paper-based system. The application enforces strict, user-based access control by filtering all data server-side based on the authenticated Google user's email. To protect data integrity and prevent spreadsheet corruption, I implemented robust data sanitization on all user inputs to neutralize any potential formula injection attacks. This secure automation streamlined the entire timesheet workflow, allowing for faster and more reliable payroll processing while ensuring user data remained private and protected.
