Designed and built an end-to-end interactive decision-support application using public European data across 27 EU countries and multiple strategic dimensions. Developed a structured analytical methodology for comparing countries, identifying patterns and trade-offs, and exploring strategic choices rather than presenting static dashboards. Translated complex multidimensional data into guided interactive exploration and learning workflows for non-specialist users. Built the application end-to-end using Python and Streamlit, with AI-assisted development and Git-based version control. Developed the project independently from problem framing and data analysis through methodology, UX logic, implementation and deployment.

Tools: Python, Streamlit, Git, AI-assisted development
