I help businesses reduce manual admin, streamline internal processes, and connect the tools they already use into simple, reliable workflows. My work focuses on business automation, AI-assisted workflows, CRM process improvement, reporting systems, and operational cleanup. I help clients take repetitive tasks across forms, email, spreadsheets, CRMs, reporting, and admin handoffs, then turn them into practical systems that save time and reduce friction. This can include: - workflow automation - AI-assisted admin systems - CRM and lead process improvement - form, email, and spreadsheet integrations - recurring reporting workflows - Google Sheets and internal tracking systems - onboarding, follow-up, and operational process design - documentation and handover notes so the system is easy to maintain I work best with businesses that want practical, maintainable solutions rather than overbuilt software. My approach is to understand the real process first, identify the manual bottlenecks, then build the simplest version that creates clear business value. I can help with projects such as: - connecting forms, CRM, email, and spreadsheets into one workflow - automating recurring admin and reporting tasks - improving lead capture and follow-up systems - setting up AI-assisted workflows for drafting, summaries, and internal process support - cleaning up messy operational workflows and making them easier to run Tools can vary depending on the job, but I am comfortable working across automation platforms, spreadsheets, business systems, and AI-assisted workflows where they make sense. If you need someone who can think through the business process, not just the technical setup, I can help.
