Steve C.

Certified Excel Expert / Mechanical Engineer

I have 20+ years of engineering experience and Excel (Certified Expert) has been a daily tool throughout. I’ve built complex calculators, pricing tools, system configurators, inventory systems, and scheduling models — many of which are still in use globally. I’m highly proficient with advanced formulas, functions, data validation, and VBA automation. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) One specialized expertise that I have lies in building Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) libraries that based on a "building block" method. • Reusable and scalable content, enabling streamlined creation of new documents and swift updates. • Content protection to prevent changes to global minimum standard, ensuring flawless execution and quality standards compliance. • Local customization for job-specific requirements made simple, incentivizing field usage. • Integrated job log entries for detailed notes on a step-by-step basis. • Data collection for run history database, trend analysis, and continuous improvement. Beyond documentation systems, I have created Excel configuration workbooks for oil and gas operations facilities which serve as technical planning guides — integrating inventory pull sheets, hydraulic pressure configurations, and QC checklists. I have also built BOM/data tool for a 12,000 component watercraft which can quickly identify common components and export configurable Bills of Materials. In summary, I have years of experience developing methods to enable Excel and Word to fill custom functional niches where many professional software programs lack functional granularity, or simply do not exist.
