I have 40 years of experience in business and technology related industries. My experience in the Pharmaceutical industry alone exceeds 25 years. I have been responsible for the creation of a number of business solutions from small business to worldwide corporations. I have dealt with a range of clients from senior executives to front line clerks. Every project I have been involved in has been a success. During the past 40 years, I have guided my corporation through years of success as an independent consultant, a task that is not achieved by many in the industry.
Recently, I have developed a web based application for the Victims’ Advocates in the Surprise Police department. The system maintains interactions with the advocates and their clients. The application utilizes MySQL databases as well as PHP technologies to provide a very robust tool for the advocates.
As part of a volunteer project, I have adapted Raspberry Pi devices to work with a VOIP product (Mumble) to help the Civil Air Patrol more efficiently communicate with their staff during mission critical events. I created the entire server structure to process all user management as well as the setup of the Mumble server. Again, MySQL, PHP and python were some of the tools utilized.
I have revolutionized several pharmaceutical companies to properly manage their sales and promotional marketing budgets during the last 25 years. The last development introduced new procedures through extensive change management so they could manage a budget approaching 1 billion dollars. The resultant technology solution that I implemented managed over 3500 projects and affected over 350 end users in the past year. The system managed both production schedules as well as budgets. In addition, it interfaced directly with SAP to tightly integrate all financial data as well as purchase activity.
I designed and developed a web-based system to manage all of the Field Sales promotional spending for over 4000 sales representatives. The funds and budgets were integrated into the budget management system and thus help increase sales revenues by timely use of budget dollars.
I have worked with one of the leading genetic research branches of a large pharmaceutical company for over 15 years. The tasks accomplished have been in a wide range of disciplines including laboratory system development, legal tracking, research budget management and product sales support and web site development.
I have designed and developed a system to manage all of the purchases of bulk cement for the world’s third largest cement manufacturer (at that time) for sales in the United States. The system integrated all the sales with the general accounting system and produced all the accounts receivable documents. I also provided technical support to their staff and installed and maintained various network configurations in extreme work environments.
I have worked various other industries throughout the United States. I have worked in the governmental arena (Federal and State), a private world-wide consultant firm, a computer manufacture’s software development area and a wide variety of private industries.

Custom Automation, Complex Scalable Browser Automation platforms, Error Reporting, Full Dashboards and Reporting, Web Scraping & E-Commerce Systems
I build custom automation systems that save time, reduce manual work, and help businesses scale operations that would otherwise require large teams.
My work includes custom bots, browser automation, web scraping, data extraction, inventory monitors, order-processing systems, API integrations, dashboards, e-commerce workflow automation, and improvements to existing systems.
I have hands-on experience building production systems with Python, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Node.js, Playwright, Selenium, APIs, proxies, CAPTCHA workflows, Dockerized services, and custom admin dashboards.
What makes me different is that I understand both the technical side and the business side. I don’t just write code — I help define the process, design the system, anticipate edge cases, and build tools that can run reliably in the real world.
Whether you need a one-time scraper, a custom automation tool, or a full backend system for your business, I can help you build it properly from start to finish.
⸻
What I Do
Automation & Workflow Systems
Custom scripts, internal tools, bots, monitors, notification systems, and unattended workflows built around your exact business process.
Web Scraping & Data Extraction
Reliable crawlers and parsers for product data, pricing history, market research, lead generation, inventory monitoring, and competitive intelligence.
API Integration & Backend Development
Custom integrations with payment gateways, shipping carriers, marketplaces, Amazon, Shopify, CRMs, internal dashboards, and third-party platforms.
E-Commerce Automation
Order-processing pipelines, inventory tools, account management systems, tracking workflows, data reconciliation, bulk imports, and high-volume operational backends. Custom plugins and functionality for WooCommerce.
Proxy, CAPTCHA & Browser Automation
Advanced browser automation using tools such as Playwright, Selenium, proxy systems, CAPTCHA-solving workflows, and anti-detection best practices when appropriate.
⸻
Why Work With Me
Real-World Automation Experience
I don’t just write scripts. I build systems that run in production, handle volume, recover from errors, and solve real business problems.
Full-Stack Capability
I can design the database, build the backend, create dashboards, deploy services, integrate APIs, and automate your workflow from end to end.
Business-Focused Development
Before writing code, I help clarify the process, identify bottlenecks, and design the simplest reliable solution for the job.
Clear Communication
You’ll get straightforward updates, realistic expectations, and deliverables that are easy to understand, test, and maintain.
Long-Term Partner Mentality
Many automation projects grow over time. I build with that in mind, so your system can scale as your business needs change.
⸻
Let’s Talk
If you need a developer who can turn repetitive work, messy data, or complicated workflows into a reliable automated system, send me a message.
I can help you plan the solution, build it correctly, and improve it as your business grows.
