In my current position, I love to write relevant and detailed blog content for online marketing. If you need data entry help, CRM management, customer service assistance, or digital marketing planning and implementation, I'm the assistant for you!

    During my 20+ years of experience, I have automated countless manual processes using Excel Automation, Database & Reporting Development, as well as many other technologies, saving thousands of hours to my clients. I can help select & implement the right solution for your project. Whether a stand-alone automation, data modeling or merging multiple data sources into a reporting platform, I am here to help. Please, see my portfolio. Technical Skills (non-exhaustive list): . . • Programming: Excel/VBA, Python, SQL, DAX, M, .Net ... . . • Database: MS SQL Server, Oracle, Informix, DB2, MS Access, SQL, WhereScape . . • Reporting: Power Query, Excel, MS Reporting Services (SSRS) & Paginated Reports . . • Big Data: MS Analysis Services (SSAS), 1010Data, ParAccel, Google BigQuery . . • ETL/ELT/Pipelines: MS Power Query / M, MS Integration Services (SSIS), Power Automate, GoAnywhere . . • Optimization & Simulation: AMPL, MS Excel Solver, Extend / ModL, OPL Studio, LINGO Projects examples: A Financial company needed to better manage their shareholders, distribute dividends & profit sharing, and ensure these distributions met regulatory requirements. The solution consisted in: . . • an Excel VBA Addin and a new MS SQL Server Database that let Actuaries and Accountants collaborate and run automated processes, models & reports, preventing manual errors and speeding up the overall process by 80%, and . . • Power BI reports that gave upper management a real-time view of the quarterly progress and metrics. As a member of a consulting firm, from observing the repetitions in the report development process, I created an Excel VBA Addin that let the user connect to any database, configure a set of dynamic Excel reports, and distribute the resulting dynamic workbook to end-users. The Addin cut reports development time from weeks to just a few hours. The tool was commercialized as part of our Data package. To meet SEC's document management requirements for a Broker Dealer, and in collaboration with multiple teams, I selected and integrated several technologies: . . • MS SQL Servers: on-site and off-site copy for the storage of metadata, . . • a Document Management software: define multiple types of documents, search & find, user access control, legal holds, retention, versioning, ... . . • a WORM storage (Write-Once, Read-Many) to prevent document tempering, . . • Power BI reports to answer frequent questions and track abnormalities.
