Which transformer have you yet to use but would like to try soon?
I love working with FME to solve my day-to-day challenges where I don’t need to code to achieve my objectives like taping into datasets using API and HTTP callers. I would like to try the Google Vision Connector when I next get a chance to look at the capabilities of OCR against the handwritten text.

What has been the most intriguing data-wrangling challenge you have encountered
As part of a project for a large electrical distribution company in the UK, I had the challenge to transform a CIM-based electrical dataset into geo-schematics representing high-voltage assets. Prior to this, I was not exposed to CIM datasets and couldn’t find any knowledge library that I could readily tap into. In the end, I ended up parsing and building relationships myself to create and transform the CIM dataset into a geo-schematic network.
