APPLESCRIPT API AUTOMATION/WORKFLOW DEVELOPER: No more repetitive tasks, clicks, or keystrokes! Your problem becomes my problem. We’ll figure out how to save you valuable time. Automate FFMPEG, Google (Calendar, Gmail, etc), Knack (database), and so many other free/opensource command-line apps for Mac (no Windows) I have a long background in video/audio/sound editing/mixing (see below) but my primary purpose here on Upwork is automating workflows with apps like Applescript, Automator, FFMPEG, Keyboard Maestro,, & Perl. These scripting/scriptable tools create shortcuts to perform functions/macros that run behind the scenes. My comfort level exists mostly in Mac OS but I have been in every version of Windows since Win3.1 and have done some work with AutoIt (AppleScript for Windows). I have designed several iOS apps currently available in the Apple App Store and have 2 fantasy sports games on the web. Another interesting project was developing automated Twitter "Tweets". I am always looking to do manual tasks more quickly. Recent Upwork projects have been AppleScripts to extract Google Calendar schedules into Knack database using their APIs, convert .STL files to .PNG, emailing Image files, creating folders from .CSV, retrieving AliExpress data, retrieving parcel info from GIS Data Viewers, doing OCR on image files, & creating custom printouts called from MacBook Pro touch bar. I also created a way to extract data from a Wordpress site (woo commerce) using their API and could create a custom PDF for printing. All of which will be huge time savers for the clients.
