Hi! I’m Chris — a Google Workspace automation developer specializing in Gemini AI, Google Sheets, Apps Script, AppSheet, and integrations using, Zapier, Make and custom API connections. After focusing on ongoing client work for the past year, I’m returning to Upwork where I maintain a 100% Job Success Score and previously held Top Rated Developer status. Several of my clients run large parts of their day-to-day operations on systems I’ve built — from standalone spreadsheets with complex formulas to full multi-user operational platforms. • What I Do Many businesses run critical parts of their operations in Google Sheets, and that can work extremely well for a long time. As businesses evolve, those systems can start to strain under the weight of more users, more data, growing automation requirements, and the need to integrate with other business tools. My key to any successful project isn’t just understanding the underlying business problem, but identifying the best way to solve it — for you. From there, it’s a matter of pulling together the right tools: • AI - particularly Google's native Gemini • Apps Script – the engine that turns Google Workspace into a true application environment rather than just a collection of documents. • Google Sheets as structured data systems — not just formula-heavy files • BigQuery database when scale, performance, or reporting depth matters • AppSheet when teams need controlled, role-based App interfaces or field access • Automation to reduce errors and free your team from repetitive work • External Integrations that connect Google Workspace to the rest of your stack using custom API connections, Zapier, and Make • CRM systems — former Certified HubSpot developer with experience in other platforms like Monday Whether your business needs a purpose-built tool for a specific problem, needs help untangling spreadsheet chaos, or requires a more reliable system built across the broader Google Workspace ecosystem and beyond — I can help. • Background & Perspective I spent over five years in software and game development, shipping projects as a developer and coder, while also working in project management, product design, and marketing roles. After that I moved into CRM development and became a certified HubSpot developer. There I built marketing and sales automation systems, and really developed a passion for workflow automation and system integration. Those experiences naturally evolved into building fully custom tools, largely inside the Google sandbox. Having worked across development, marketing, operations, and product teams has given me a useful shorthand for understanding how different parts of a company work together, and how to design systems with that front of mind. If you’re trying to automate processes, clean up a messy spreadsheet system, or build something more robust inside Google Workspace, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to jump on a short call and demonstrate that we’d be a great fit!
