Your numbers live in five different systems and none of them agree. Someone rebuilds the same spreadsheet every month. By the time a figure reaches the person who has to act on it, it's a week old and nobody fully trusts it. That's the problem I solve: building the reporting layer underneath a business whose data outgrew its spreadsheets. 🎯 WHO I WORK WITH Founders, finance leads and operators pulling numbers by hand out of platform exports, APIs, and bank or exchange statements. If your data is already clean and you want one chart built, I'm more than you need. If nobody in the room can produce a total everyone believes, that's my work. 🔧 WHAT I BUILD 1️⃣ Automated data pipelines. Direct API and export integrations, cleaning and transformation, so the same report doesn't get rebuilt by hand every cycle. 2️⃣ Reconciliation and validation. Matching transactions across sources, with validation rules at each pipeline stage that catch errors before they reach a report. 3️⃣ Reporting and dashboards. Python, SQL, Excel, Google Sheets and Tableau, tracking P&L, exposure and performance in a single view. 4️⃣ AI automation. Claude Code built into the workflow for anomaly flagging, documentation and repetitive data work, with verification steps so output gets checked before it reaches you. 📊 RESULTS 🔹 Cut a multi-hour daily reporting cycle to under 15 minutes and reduced manual processing by roughly 90%, across 10+ platform integrations. 🔹 Reconciled 100,000+ transactions across trade logs, platform ledgers and exchange records, with validation rules at each stage that cut manual reconciliation time by around 30%. 🔹 Replaced manual cross-referencing across 5+ separate platform interfaces with one dashboard covering exposure, P&L and transaction flow. 🔹 Built a screening and reporting tool adopted by every trader on the desk, replacing hours of manual research per person per day. ✅ Certified by Kodree in Data Analytics, SQL and Claude Code. Seven years working with financial data daily, including crypto and derivatives markets, where reconciling platforms that disagree with each other is the normal condition. I'm early on Upwork and priced below where this work usually sits, deliberately. Small scoped first projects are welcome: one report, one reconciliation, one dashboard. Tell me where your numbers break and I'll tell you what I'd build.

CPA accountant, Xero Certified Advisor (Xero Expert), MBA from the prestigious AGSM (Australian Graduate School of Management, UNSW, Sydney), JP (Justice of the Peace). I am a qualified Tax Agent registered with the Australian Tax Practitioners Board and specialise in bookkeeping, intercompany accounting and lodging BAS (Business Activity Statement) with the ATO (Australian Taxation Office). Also a Mortgage Broker registered with the Finance Brokers Association of Australasia (FBAA).

You need an AI system that actually works in production, not a clever demo that falls over the first time a real user touches it. That is what I build. I design and ship AI agents and LLM apps end to end: conversational agents that answer questions over your live business data, RAG pipelines with retrieval that is genuinely relevant, Claude and OpenAI wired deep into your stack with real guardrails, plus the integrations and infrastructure to keep it all running. Everything is custom built in real code (Python, FastAPI, Next.js) with Claude as my collaborator, not stitched together in no-code tools, so it bends to exactly what you need and does not break the moment it gets complex. A few things I have built: - A production AI Customer Success platform for a high-value client: dual AI agents answering natural-language questions across their live tools, around 10,000 interactions a week, with row-level security and encrypted per-client keys. - My own AI products running in production on infrastructure I own: a trading assistant with a daily AI market report, a tax service with an accountant portal, and a native desktop workspace for directing AI across my projects. - A complete self-hosted cloud of around 100 containers that I designed, secured, and operate myself. That last one is also an offer. I can build you a fully self-hosted, self-sufficient AI system that you own outright: no SaaS lock-in, no monthly platform tax, set up fast and reliably. One level above the no-code crowd. A bit about me: I came to Australia, learned English, started university understanding about 20 percent of the lectures, and graduated with Distinction. I spent a decade delivering technology projects for big brands, then went hands-on as an AI-native developer who ships production software end to end, directing in plain language with Claude. How I work: I start with a small, testable slice so you see real value in days, then build out. Clear communication, honest reporting, systems built to last. 100% Job Success here on Upwork. If you have a real problem you want solved with AI, tell me what you are trying to build and I will tell you exactly how I would approach it. What are you working on?
