Peter T.

I help companies modernize their Excel, Access, and VBA processes and upgrade them with AI. One product I built this way was PowerTabs (for SPINS, a CPG data leader), which grew to seven-figure annual subscription revenue, serving over 250 consumer brands. If your business depends on spreadsheets, Access databases, and manual processes, you don't need a risky rip-and-replace to upgrade them. You need someone fluent in both worlds: streamlining the legacy systems you rely on today, and adding additional leverage through AI-augmented automation. That bridge is my specialty, and very few people have spent 19 years on both sides of it. WHAT I DO ✅ Automation builds: Excel/Access/VBA modernization, process automation, custom internal tools, reporting suites, dashboards, and AI integrations that remove hours of manual work per week. ✅ Managed automation: ongoing monitoring, support, and continuous improvement so your systems keep getting better and faster. ✅ AI: Integrating the latest and greatest AI tools and capabilities into your current processes. ✅ Audits: a fixed-price, 2–3 week assessment of your processes that delivers a prioritized automation roadmap with ROI estimates. RESULTS 🎯 As the Lead Developer at SPINS (the CPG data leader), built PowerTabs, a SaaS business-intelligence platform that grew to seven-figure subscription revenue, serving 250+ consumer product brands. 🎯 Built the web-based operations platform for Rockin Monkey (a custom sticker manufacturer later acquired by Sticker Mule in 2025), which included real-time order tracking, customer proofing and custom order feedback, and production monitoring that let them scale through COVID while competitors stalled. 🎯 As a Senior Systems Engineer at Raytheon, built an automated manufacturing-status data-mining tool that replaced 2–3 days of manual engineering work with a 30-second fully automated interactive dashboard for top management. 🎯 Designed an automated marketing-analytics dashboard for a cinema marketing agency, which illuminates investment effectiveness, attendance trends, and per-ticket revenue at a glance.
