Senior VBA Expert | Word & Excel | Fix - Optimize - Modernize
Got an Excel or Word solution that has become too complex, too slow, or simply too fragile to touch? Maybe a macro suddenly stopped working, a template keeps breaking, or a business process still depends on a spreadsheet that has grown far beyond what it was originally designed for. That's exactly the kind of work I enjoy. I'm a Senior VBA Developer specializing in business critical Excel and Word solutions, from individual macros and UserForms to complex VBA applications, document automation, and Microsoft 365 integrations. I also work with Power Automate, Power Apps, and AutoCAD VBA when a solution needs to go beyond traditional Office automation. With 15+ years of experience in engineering, technical sales support, and automation, including experience with Schneider Electric and ABB, I bring a practical business perspective to the solutions I build. I've spent years working with real-world business processes, where automation isn't successful simply because the code works. It needs to be reliable, maintainable, and practical for the people who depend on it every day. What I can help with: 1) Word & VBA · Advanced Word templates and document automation · XML, Content Controls, and data binding · UserForms and custom editing tools · Document generation and workflow automation · Complex styles, numbering, sections, and document logic · Legacy template repair and modernization · Recovering access to protected Word files and VBA projects (for legitimate owners) · Excel, Outlook, and external data integration 2) Excel & VBA · Debugging and fixing existing VBA · Optimizing slow or unstable workbooks · Recovering access to protected workbooks, sheets, and VBA projects (for legitimate owners) · Complex UserForms and business logic · Reporting and process automation · Legacy Excel recovery and modernization · Data processing, validation, and transformation · Troubleshooting formula errors and incorrect calculations (#DIV/0!, #N/A, #REF!, #VALUE!) · XML and structured data solutions 3) Also Available · Power Automate - workflows, approvals, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 automation · Power Apps - internal business tools and process automation · AutoCAD VBA - drawing automation and Excel - AutoCAD integration · Fillable PDF & JavaScript - form creation, repair, calculations, validation, and scripting When I take over an existing solution, I don't immediately start rewriting the code. First, I understand how it works, how people actually use it, and where the real problem is. Then I fix the root cause and improve the solution without unnecessarily changing the parts that already work. I don't believe in rewriting something just because I can. The goal is simple: a solution that works reliably, is easier to maintain, and makes your team's everyday work easier. If you have a VBA solution that is broken, slow, outdated, difficult to maintain, or simply creating too much manual work, send me a message. Tell me what's going wrong. I'll take a look and help you figure out the best way forward.
