Google Sheets Automation Expert | Apps Script, APIs, Large-Scale Data

Somewhere in your business there's a spreadsheet held together with copy-paste and hope. Probably only one person understands it. I turn those spreadsheets into systems that run themselves — documented, automated, and fully yours. I'm a Google Sheets and Google Apps Script specialist. Not a generalist who also does spreadsheets — this is all I do, every day, for clients ranging from short-term rental operators to healthcare and insurance/benefits operations teams. I'm also the founder of Next Level Sheets LLC, a product line of Google Sheets templates and automation tools — I don't just fix spreadsheets, I design and ship them commercially. WHAT I BUILD - Spreadsheet rescues: broken formulas fixed, data validation added, the whole thing documented so it stops being tribal knowledge - Automated dashboards: live KPIs that update themselves instead of waiting on someone's Sunday-night data entry - Apps Script workflow automation: form intake pipelines, scheduled email digests, report generation, inventory tracking with real-time stock alerts - Custom web apps: when your spreadsheet can no longer carry the load, I build the app layer on top of it — 20+ custom apps shipped across medical, industrial, chemical testing, and home inspection businesses - API integrations: Google Document AI (OCR), DocuSign, and third-party platforms wired directly into Sheets — no middleware. My scripts often replace a client's Zapier or Make subscription with automation they own outright. RECENT WORK - Healthcare data pipeline: Google Document AI OCR extracting structured data from documents straight into Sheets — replacing error-prone manual entry - Inventory automation: real-time stock levels, automatic reorder alerts, and order tracking, no manual updates - Event scoring system: form submissions scored and ranked instantly via Apps Script, eliminating hours of live manual tabulation - Large-scale data operations: third-party API integrations (including SOAP), high-volume imports with deduplication, and working directly with Google to raise service quotas when clients outgrow the defaults HOW I WORK - Defined builds or ongoing work — both are on the table. A one-off rescue or dashboard can be scoped as a project; most of my client relationships are long-term hourly, where I become the automation arm of their operation as needs grow. - Everything I deliver is documented, and larger builds include a Loom walkthrough so your whole team understands the system, not just one person. - You own everything. No subscriptions to me, no lock-in. Long-term clients keep me around because there's always more to automate — not because they're trapped. - Quick questions are free. If your answer takes me five minutes, it costs you nothing. A GOOD FIT IF You have a spreadsheet your business depends on, a manual process someone repeats every week, or numbers your team keeps asking one person for. I'll also tell you honestly when NOT to hire me — if a $30/month SaaS already does exactly what you need, I'll point you at it and save us both the trouble. Send me two sentences about what's broken or slow. That's enough to get started.
