Are manual tasks draining your team’s time?
If your team is stuck copying data between spreadsheets, spending hours on reporting, or worrying that a missed email could derail a workflow — you’re losing time and money. I help fix that.
I build custom automation solutions with Python and Google Apps Script that:
• Save hours of repetitive work each week
• Eliminate costly manual errors
• Keep your workflows running smoothly, even as you scale
What I can automate for you:
✅ Google Workspace Integrations — Connect Sheets, Docs, Forms, and Gmail with each other or with external services
✅ Custom Reporting — Automatically generate and email polished reports from your Sheets data
✅ Data & API Integration — Pull external data into your systems or push internal data to third-party platforms
✅ Automated Data Entry — Replace manual copy-paste with scripts that handle transfers in seconds
✅ SaaS Workflow Automation — Build custom solutions when off-the-shelf tools fall short
With a background in software engineering (MIT, 5+ years of experience), I deliver automation that isn’t just functional, but maintainable. Every project includes:
• Clean, well-commented code
• Simple video instructions so your team can manage workflows confidently
• Solutions designed to scale with your business
Let’s turn your clunky manual processes into streamlined, stress-free workflows. Invite me to your project, and let’s talk about how automation can free up your team’s time.

Business Systems & Automation Expert | Custom Apps, AI, Full Stack
Spokane, Washington
$80/hr$80 per hour5.0 (47) 126 jobs $90K+ total earnings
Is there a part of your business that the software you pay for just won't do? That gap is what I build. 112 jobs on Upwork since 2020, 100% Job Success, Top Rated, 4.99 across 47 reviews.
It started with a timecard. I was working a regular job, tired of filling mine out by hand, so I built a button in a Google Sheet to do it for me. Then I automated the thing next to it, and the thing after that. By the time I left I had automated most of that company and found work I didn't know existed.
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE NOW
An orthopedic surgery office was getting hundreds of faxes a month and sorting them by hand. I built a pipeline that OCRs each one, reads it with AI, and files it in the right folder on its own. Their admin staff got back roughly 600 hours a year.
A real estate CRM sync that took four minutes now finishes in three seconds, and touches 500 records per run instead of 10,000.
THE RANGE
Real estate, therapy and autism services, schools, trucking and delivery, construction, plumbing and HVAC, senior care, chiropractic and vision therapy, manufacturing, wineries, short-term rentals, wedding planning, bookkeeping, cannabis, toy manufacturing, 3D rendering, and a chamber of commerce. Forty industries, ninety businesses, 371 named projects since 2023.
I ALSO BUILT THE SYSTEM MY OWN COMPANY RUNS ON
Quoting, e-signatures, invoicing, project management, tasks, client management, an AI assistant, newsletter generation. It has issued 885 invoices and collected over $400,000 since January 2024, and some clients have been billed through it weekly for almost two years. So when I tell you what a custom system costs to build and to keep alive, I am not estimating from a blog post.
CUSTOM BUILDS, PLUS THE GLUE
Most businesses don't need their tools replaced. They need the gaps between them closed. I build the custom piece you can't buy, then wire it into your CRM, accounting, scheduling and forms so the whole thing behaves like one system instead of six.
"Dan is a rare and highly sought-after talent. He takes great care to ensure the delivery fits your specific needs and makes you feel like he is just as invested in the solution as you are." — client, BeMyApp
HOW IT GOES
A short call first, and I'll tell you honestly whether custom software is worth it. Sometimes the answer is that what you have is fine. If it is worth it, you get a plan in plain language, split into phases with a price on each. You approve a phase before I build it and see something working early. You own it all at the end: code, data, accounts. After launch I stay on call.
