Hi! My name is Sharron and I have been working with data for a very long time! I very much enjoy meeting new people and discussing their current data/information problems and then developing possible solutions when it comes to accessing necessary data more quickly. I like to listen to what my clients are looking for, and then develop a step by step solution that will meet their needs. I believe that I not only have the technical expertise to create solutions, but I also have the soft skills to help facilitate the communication of technical terms into everyday language and to design a system that is customized to my clients' individual needs. Because I majored in Industrial Engineering, developing efficient processes is part of every one of my data projects. I will either take your process that you already love and want to automate, or I can suggest ways to improve efficiency for you. I also like to keep the communication loop open to make sure I am delivering on what I promised to you. I can also make training videos to help facilitate that process.
My particular areas of expertise include SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), especially with Microsoft Excel and Access. I have over 30 years of experience with Microsoft Office and including Access and Excel and the VBA and SQL languages. I have over 20 years of experience as a SQL developer. I also have over a decade of experience with social media management and classic web technologies such as ASP classic, HTML, and JavaScript as well as Visual Basic. I have two decades of training as an educator in technological fields, end user training, and K-12 learning. I can create training videos for technical training as well as training videos for the custom applications that I create.
I have worked with a wide spectrum of clients, including those from manufacturing, quality control, distribution, food, pharmaceuticals, health care, financial, media, education, real estate, and service organizations. I am able to implement the entire technical solution from the initial specifications from the customer to the final implementation with training.
Clients I have worked with include Avery Dennison, DRS Power Technology, North Central Mass Chamber of Commerce, Johnny Appleseed Visitor Center, City of Westhampton, Standard Register Corporation, Hillshire Farms & Kahn’s, Square D Company, Gallatin Steel, Dwyer Concrete Lifting, Procter & Gamble, Gibson Greetings, H.P. Hood Inc., Skyline Chili, Good Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati Financial Corporation, Great American Insurance, American Annuity Group, Huff Realty, Q102 Radio Station, Dayton Public Schools, Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow (eCot), IBM Global Services, Hardware Deployment for GE Capital, Xerox Connect, Xerox, City of Louisville, MAX Technical Training, HCCM CHEC and MACH homeschooling organizations, BBC and HBC churches, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and The University of Cincinnati.

20+ years in banking and lending — six as a Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo, twelve as an independent consultant — sit behind the analytics work I do now. The tools I use are common enough on this platform. The way I use them is shaped by having spent two decades on the business side of the analysis.
I hold an MBA and an MS in Business Information Systems & Analytics. The largest portfolio I've directly supported was roughly $300M in indirect auto lending; I've built tools for institutions managing significantly more.
What I typically build: pricing and forecasting models, cash flow projections, credit risk frameworks, and executive dashboards in Power BI and Tableau — with the SQL, Python, and Excel/VBA pipelines that feed them.
A few examples:
- Loan pricing models incorporating lifetime client value that directly improved lending production.
- Portfolio dashboards tracking real-time exposure, production velocity, and charge-off trends.
- Built forensic methodology traces reconciling third-party equity research figures against underlying public filings, with every calculation sourced and reproducible.
- Rebuilt a real estate appraisal firm's portfolio valuation model — an Excel file that had grown organically into something too fragile and inconsistent to trust — into an 11-tab VBA-automated workbook handling up to 550 properties, with three-approach reconciliation, 10-year DCF, scenario analysis, and a portfolio dashboard.
Send me the project description and a deadline. I'll reply within a few hours during US business hours with whether I'm the right fit, what it'll cost, and when you'll have it.

I have over ten years of professional work experience in Business Development, Sales, Finance, Operations, and Project Management. I enjoy problem solving and helping businesses make more efficient data driven decisions. I specialize in Power BI dashboard creation, editing, and “fixing” errors within existing dashboards. I am proficient in DAX, creating automated refreshes, bookmarks, M code, ETL, etc. I have worked with extremely large (and confidential) datasets so I can handle any data that is thrown at me. I enjoy having some direction but putting my own spin on dashboard and visualizations when possible. I have created many Power BI and Excel dashboards for clients within the Medical, Construction, Finance, and Marketing industries. I do have some background in taxation and government spending as well. My contracts are confidential so I am not able to share too many specific details but I am happy to answer questions and share more about the skills I have/use.
I have had some exposure to VBA, SQL, R, Python, and Tableau, and I am currently working on expanding and improving these skills. If there is a project requiring these skills I would be happy to work at a reduced rate while I gain more experience in these areas.
My most recent project consisted of a Power BI dashboard (and a corresponding Excel Dashboard linked to it) that contained sales data from an ERP system as & cost data from the client. I created many different visualizations to help them decide which specific zip code areas had the best conversion rates, marketing cost, leads, GSA, etc. so they could invest in better ad spend.

I help founders and growing businesses make better technology decisions before expensive mistakes slow growth.
Most software projects do not fail because of bad code. They fail because goals were unclear, ownership was fuzzy, scope expanded without discipline, or early architecture decisions could not support real-world operations. My role is to reduce those risks early and help companies build systems that actually ship — and continue to perform as the business grows.
I work with clients to clarify:
• What they are truly trying to achieve
• Where workflows, handoffs, or systems are breaking down
• What should be built now vs. later
• How to move forward within real budget, timeline, and operational constraints
That starts with understanding the current business, processes, and data flows — then designing practical systems that are scalable, maintainable, and aligned to outcomes. Where it adds real leverage, that may include automation, integrations, or AI.
⸻
Experience & Approach
I bring 30+ years of hands-on experience across healthcare, finance, legal, nonprofit, SaaS, and data-intensive environments.
My background includes:
• Software architecture
• SaaS platform strategy
• Backend systems and APIs
• Systems integration
• Workflow automation
• AI-enabled business systems
• Product and technical leadership
I operate in a hands-on senior advisor model:
• I personally lead architecture, technical assessments, planning, and key decisions
• When execution support is needed, I can coordinate trusted developers under clear direction
• You maintain one accountable senior point of contact throughout the engagement
Clients get executive-level judgment where it matters most — without wasting senior budget on every implementation task.
⸻
How I Typically Work
Successful projects usually follow a disciplined sequence:
1. Alignment – Clarify goals, risks, constraints, and success metrics
2. Solution Definition – Turn business needs into practical technical decisions
3. Architecture Review – Validate the direction before heavy investment
4. Phased Roadmap – Define milestones, sequencing, and priorities
5. Execution Support – Guide delivery, decisions, and course correction as needed
This approach creates momentum, reduces rework, and leads to systems that last.
⸻
Clients Hire Me To
• Serve as a Fractional CTO or senior technical advisor
• Build MVPs and new SaaS platforms the right way
• Rescue stalled or fragile software projects
• Modernize legacy systems
• Design automation and AI-assisted workflows
• Integrate disconnected tools and data sources
• Improve scalability, maintainability, and reliability
• Get an unbiased view of build vs. refactor vs. replace
⸻
If you need someone to simply complete tickets, I may not be the best fit.
If you want an experienced partner who thinks strategically, challenges assumptions, and helps you make sound technical decisions, we will likely work well together.
I’d be glad to learn more about your project and discuss whether there’s a strong fit.
