I help founders and teams build and ship reliable production ready apps quickly. Most projects I work on don’t start from scratch they’re already in progress, but stuck. Maybe the MVP works but feels fragile, the code is messy, or you’re not confident putting real users on it yet. That’s where I come in. I focus on moving things forward fast, while making sure what we build is stable, maintainable, and ready for real use not just demos. With 6+ years across startups, agencies, and public sector teams, I’m comfortable jumping in at any stage and bringing structure, clarity, and momentum. What you can expect working with me: • Fast turnaround without cutting corners • Clear communication and consistent progress • Clean, maintainable code that won’t cause problems later • Thoughtful UX that actually improves usability • A clear path from MVP → real product I work across both AI driven builds and traditional full stack development, so whether you’re starting from an idea, an AI generated prototype, or an existing app, I can help you move forward with confidence. If you need to build or ship something quickly and want it done properly feel free to reach out. Happy to take a look and point you in the right direction.

I am a Business Intelligence Developer & Data Architect. I have over 30 years of experience building analytics dashboards, data warehouses and ETL pipeline solutions. These solutions include Profitability analytics, Finance reporting, Sales and Marketing analytics, Integrated dashboards for Saas Apps and many more. My team and I have built solutions for a wide range of businesses from Start-ups, through SMEs, to large International corporations (where our solutions help them analyse revenue of over 300 million USD a year). We have expertise in a wide range of technologies (some examples listed below). Whether what you need is a simple automated spreadsheet, a fully consolidated solution that pulls data from different systems (finance, sales, operations, internal) into a centralized data warehouse, reconciles and processes it into a single reliable golden source, allows different team members to self-serve always accurate, always up-to-date data that fits their specific need or you want to extend functionality of your cloud-based application to enrich the experience of your users, we have the expertise to build a solution for you that will deliver beyond your expectations. We are not just a purely technical team. I have many years of experience as a financial analyst. I often work with clients to define useful metrics/KPIs and interpret what they could mean for their business. Our goal is not just to give you a spreadsheet, database or dashboard, but to give you the insight that helps you to make your business better. Here are some benefits our solutions provide ==================================== ➡️ Clear and flexible dashboards and reports: ▪️ Summarised high-level reporting to give a clear overview ▪️ Flexible report structures that allow you to focus on areas of interest ▪️ Ability to drill into granular information to identify specific business drivers. ➡️ Optimised operating processes: ▪️ Reduce lag time in preparing reports. ▪️ Make reports available more quickly and more often. ▪️ Allow manpower to focus on analytics and decision making rather than data processing. ➡️ Increased confidence in data accuracy: ▪️ Automating data feeds between systems. ▪️ Automated reconciliations to highlight inconsistencies as soon as they happen and enable timely corrective action. ▪️ Leading to more assurance in the quality of the data you work with. ➡️ Others: ▪️ Consistent consolidated data across the business Some solutions we have built: ===================== ➡️ Finance Ledger analytics cube: When working with a multi-national bank I identified a consistent bottleneck in accessing necessary data across all their UK Finance reporting teams. To resolve this, I designed and developed an analytics tool which provided users with instant access to tens of millions of lines of transaction information summarised into an easy-to-use Excel interface. This involved building ETL pipelines from the accounting ledger system into an SQL database, I then processed the transaction data through an SSAS OLAP cube and the piped the results into a flexible Excel Pivot interface. This made it much faster and much easier for users to query the ledger and extract the information they needed. It allowed each user to easily create personalised sets of high-level or granular investigation reports. This single report was estimated to save over 100 man-hours of the reporting teams' time each month, a saving of over 550,000 GBP (approx. 750,000 USD) to date. ➡️ Customer Profitability System: This system loaded data from four different front-end business systems into a single data warehouse. It then performed reconciliations between the multiple systems and raised alerts if there were any inconsistencies. It then applied business rules to calculate various performance KPIs from the data. This system cut down the time taken by the month end reporting process from 5 days to under 2 hours. It also reduced PnL attribution errors from roughly 10% to under 0.05%. I then built a reporting interface that allowed the team to have access to improved analytics that showed high level trends and gave the ability to dig into the results and identify individual drivers behind those trends. We have accumulated expertise in a number of different technologies. Including: ▪️ Azure Data Factory / Azure SQL / MS Fabric ▪️ Google Cloud Platform ▪️ Power BI ▪️ Tableau ▪️ Looker Studio ▪️ SQL Server ▪️ MS Excel: (Formulas, VBA, Power Query, Pivots) ▪️ Google Sheets ▪️ Snowflake ▪️ Big Query ▪️ MS Azure ▪️ Python ▪️ AI Development ▪️ Xero ▪️ Quickbooks ▪️ Arthur Online ▪️ Deputy ▪️ SAP ▪️ Tradeport ▪️ Google Analytics (GA4) ▪️ Google Ads ▪️ Shopify ▪️ etc Thanks for taking the time to read my written introduction. I would love to hear more about your business and how we can help. Feel free to send me a message here on Upwork and I look forward to connecting with you.
