Businesses are sitting on massive amounts of data, but most teams still rely on manual processes, spreadsheets, and disconnected reporting tools.
I help companies turn those systems into AI-powered workflows, automated reporting, and intelligent data platforms.
Over the past several years I’ve helped 100+ companies build solutions that combine AI, automation, and analytics to eliminate manual work and unlock better decision making.
Today my team and I specialize in building AI-driven business systems, including:
• AI agents that automate workflows and decision making
• AI-generated dashboards built from natural language prompts
• Automated reporting pipelines and data warehouses
• AI document processing and data extraction systems
• Custom analytics platforms for operations, finance, and sales teams
Many of my clients start with a reporting or automation problem and quickly realize they can go much further by introducing AI-driven processes into their operations.
Examples of solutions we’ve built:
• AI dashboards that generate Power BI reports from simple prompts
• AI agents that process invoices and automatically code GL entries
• Automated reporting systems integrating QuickBooks, Shopify, Salesforce, and ERP data
• AI intake agents for law firms that handle client intake conversations
• Data warehouses feeding executive dashboards for C-suite reporting
• Workflow automation systems eliminating hours of manual spreadsheet work
My background started in Excel automation, data engineering, and analytics, which means the AI solutions I build are grounded in real business data systems, not just experimental tools.
Technologies I commonly work with:
AI / Automation
• OpenAI / LLM integrations
• AI workflow automation
• AI agents and conversational systems
• Natural language data interfaces
Data & Analytics
• Power BI
• Tableau
• SQL databases
• Data warehouse architecture
• ETL pipelines
Automation
• Python
• API integrations
• Excel / VBA automation
• Workflow automation platforms
Why clients hire me:
• I combine AI expertise with real business data systems
• I focus on solutions that save time or generate revenue
• My team can deliver end-to-end systems, not just prototypes
If you're looking to bring AI into your business operations, automate reporting, or build intelligent systems on top of your data, I’d be happy to discuss how we can help.
