If you run a busy team, I’m an operations and automation specialist.
I help small businesses eliminate manual admin by turning repetitive tasks (like tracking forms, student/staff records, or timesheets) into automated background flows using Microsoft 365 tools they already pay for.
If your team is wasting hours copying data between Excel files or chasing updates, I’d be happy to build a quick, simple proof-of-concept flow for you.
Worth a quick 5-minute chat?
good luck craig!

Personal finance dashboard — from an hour of admin to two minutes
A weekly household finance workflow (manually pulling bank CSVs, splitting and categorising spends across two people, cross-checking shared expenses, reviewing totals against savings goals) was taking about an hour every week and still made it hard to tell at a glance whether spending was on track. Designed and built a dashboard that automates the pull, categorisation, and monthly view.
My role:
Research (mapped the existing manual workflow and pain points), UX design, and AI-assisted build of the dashboard.
Outcome:
Cut the weekly admin task from roughly an hour to about two minutes.
Note on scope:
Personal side project, not a client engagement. Included here as a live example of the kind of workflow-to-dashboard problem I take on for clients (repeat-purchase and admin-heavy flows, see Pet Circle and SafetyCulture project cards).
Project details up on my profile.
This sounds like a game-changer for weekly finances! How did you automate the CSV pulls?
