As a freelance developer, I am a specialist in Microsoft Office applications with over 25 years of experience including macro coding with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). I am also skilled in database design and development with Microsoft Access or SQL Server, and I have very recent experience with Google sheets data management and scripting with Apps Script. Working independently or with your team, I can help you with tasks such as Access database design and development or maintenance, Microsoft Office and Google scripting and automation, creating or modifying spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, and Microsoft Word document organization, formatting and scripting. I can perform conversions such as PDF to Excel with Python and web scraping using Python and libraries such as Beautiful Soup. I am a skilled technical writer and will fully document the work I do, including user instructions, when required.
My project portfolio below includes three Access database projects, a Google Sheets project with scripting, two projects with automation for both Excel and Word, two additional Excel and another Word automation project, an Excel design project, an XML conversion project, and a web scraping project.
My extensive IT experience includes .NET software development for Windows servers and desktops and SQL databases. In my most recent full time position, I designed and developed an application using OCR to locate key information such as party names on printed real estate and other legal documents handled by city and county clerks. Now in use by many customers, the application facilitates automatic verification of the names submitted electronically with the documents or keyed by a data entry person. The development language was C# and the database is SQL Server running as a service under Windows. The code reads XML output from an OCR process and uses extensive regular expression coding to locate information and format it for database storage. A project in my portfolio below includes automation with Excel of the regression testing for this application.
I have developed WPF/XAML desktop applications with C# and with WinForms using C# and VB. I also have developed web applications using JavaScript, AJAX, HTML and CSS with backend database access to SQL server coded using C#. I developed one application with React, a copy of the popular Wordle game, using an external API.
Throughout my career I have leaned and applied skills such as software architecture, object oriented design and development, database design, technical writing, and problem solving. If you hire me for your project, I promise that I will always pay close attention to the details and accuracy to make sure that the result meets your requirements. Before starting a project, I will listen or read carefully to make sure I understand those requirements, and my written and spoken communication with you will be in clear and precise English.
My hourly rate quoted in this profile is negotiable. If my skills are a match for your needs please send me an invitation and I will respond right away.

I build code-first AI workflow automation systems using Python, OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, and Google Apps Script and Microsoft VBA. My work focuses on document processing, data extraction, Google Sheets / Docs automation, and structured business workflows that need to be reliable, maintainable, and usable by real teams.
Clients usually bring me in when an automation is partly working but too fragile to trust. I tighten business logic, improve extraction quality, add review checkpoints and logging, and turn manual processes into systems a team can actually operate. Typical delivery includes Python scripts, Flask web apps, API integrations, Google Sheets with Apps Script, and deployed workflow systems.
I bring enterprise product and delivery experience from Nike and Momentive (SurveyMonkey), which helps when a project needs requirements clarity and stakeholder coordination alongside hands-on implementation.
Recent projects include:
- Python/Flask web app for document processing and healthcare workflows, including lab-report PDF analysis, multi-step AI orchestration, staged prompts, markdown handoffs between agents, and DigitalOcean deployment
- Long-running Python/Flask application for a psychologist with multiple clinics in California, processing large volumes of client test data. It performs longitudinal statistical analysis with charts, generates patient-friendly results in the patient's native language, and automates final formatting in Microsoft Word using the psychologist's preferred templates and styles
- Google Sheets / Docs automation with AI-generated document outputs and workflow logic
- Prompt engineering and ChatGPT process automation for an ongoing client
- Debugging and stabilizing an existing team's workflow mid-project
On Upwork, Iโm Expert-Vetted with 100% Job Success, $300K+ earned, and 41 completed contracts.

I build production-grade systems that handle real-world complexity - not prototypes that break under actual usage.
I didn't start as a developer. I came up through IT operations at a healthcare organization, dealing with broken EHR integrations, sync failures, and workflows that crashed when clinicians needed them most.
For several years, I was the person called when systems went down. That's when I started writing code - starting with scripts to automate my own troubleshooting, then building tools to fix recurring problems. Scripts became utilities. Utilities became systems. Eventually, I wasn't just keeping software running - I was building it.
Over the last 10 years, I've worked on SaaS platforms, healthcare applications, e-commerce systems, and AI-powered automation. I've designed multi-tenant architectures serving thousands of users, built APIs processing millions of requests, and integrated AI into workflows that reduced manual operations by 70%+.
My operations background gave me something most developers lack: understanding how business logic actually functions in production. I don't just ship features - I understand the workflows they enable, the edge cases that break them, and the business rules that define them.
I focus on outcomes, not just technical implementation.
What I Do
- SaaS platforms: Multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing, role-based permissions, complex business rules, real-time sync, API integrations.
- AI & automation: LLM integrations (GPT, Claude), RAG pipelines, document processing, workflow automation, AI agents handling real business logic.
- Healthcare systems: EHR integrations (HL7, FHIR), HIPAA-compliant architecture, clinical workflows, patient data sync, billing logic, audit logging.
- Business logic: Complex validation rules, multi-step workflows, conditional processing, data transformation pipelines, integration orchestration.
I've built systems handling 10k+ documents monthly, processing thousands of daily transactions, and syncing data across dozens of third-party platforms without failure.
Tech Stack
- Backend: Node.js, Python, TypeScript, Express, NestJS, FastAPI, Django
- Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
- Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
- Cloud: AWS (EC2, ECS, S3, Lambda, RDS), Azure, Docker
- AI: OpenAI API, Claude API, LangChain, RAG
- Healthcare: HL7 v2, FHIR R4, HIPAA compliance
- APIs & Integration: REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, OAuth 2.0, Stripe
- Infrastructure: CI/CD, RabbitMQ
How I Work
I communicate clearly and directly. I ask the right questions upfront to understand business logic and constraints. I document what I build. I test comprehensively before deployment. I think about failure scenarios and real-world usage - not just ideal conditions.
I work remotely, manage my own timelines, and operate independently.
I'm not the cheapest option. But I deliver clean, scalable systems that work in production, handle complex business logic correctly, and remain stable long-term.
