I focus on solutions your team can actually maintain — clear documentation, clean structure, no black boxes. 100% Job Success, Top Rated, 80 plus (out of 112 completed jobs) five-star reviews. Have a manual process that's outgrown Excel, a dashboard that needs to actually drive decisions, or a dataset too large/messy for spreadsheets alone? Let's talk. 1.

Eliminated data entry errors and cut admin time for the client's front-desk process. 2. MS Excel-Based Inventory & Accounting System: Designed a complete inventory management and accounting application inside Excel, combining VBA automation with structured data validation — giving the client a lightweight, budget-friendly alternative to dedicated inventory software. 3.

Long-term repeat engagement — client returned for further automation work across multiple contracts. 4. Generic-to-Specific Data Classification with Fuzzy Matching (Python) Designed a Python-based data-matching pipeline using fuzzy matching and confidence scoring to automatically classify generic product/data entries into specific categories — reducing manual classification work on a large dataset. 5.
