Mission Statement

My objective is to serve others and help solve problems with my data and automation expertise!

I aim to build and develop robust scripts and automated data systems that are simple and sustainable. I believe in optimizing the benefits of a system while minimizing the costs in terms of time, money, and energy.

Technology "solutions" can easily make your life harder by being too complicated and maintenance heavy. But with careful planning and good design, solutions should work for you rather than against you. Because of this, I do my best to stay educated on best practices and development techniques. While at the same time, not letting perfect get in the way of good enough.

Building a successful solution starts with obtaining a solid understanding of the problem. I make sure that I do that before doing anything else.
