I'm a real person. I work solo. I solve messy business process problems. And I try to keep my sense of humor intact while doing it.
Last night at an industry event, I talked with a woman whose company recently rolled out a new software system. The result? Two systems with overlapping data, and no one knows which one to trust. Corporate made the decision. Her team wasn't consulted.
This is a classic problem, and one I've solved many times in my 25 years of software engineering. Sit down with the team, map out the data, build a clean migration strategy—often in about a week. One system. One source of truth.
What often makes this worse
When software doesn't fit how people actually work, they compensate. They create spreadsheets. Then more spreadsheets. Personal ones. Emailed versions. Before long, no one trusts the data anymore.
That's exactly the kind of automation and cleanup work I specialize in. Not giant software rollouts. Not bloated platforms. Smaller, targeted solutions that focus on your real bottlenecks.
If your business feels duct-taped together with spreadsheets, I'm happy to talk.
On the fun side...
I've been working on a retro space shooter called Dank Armada. It launches on Steam January 30. Because even process nerds need a creative outlet.
Thanks for reading,
