Operational systems built and delivered

01 / Profile

Operator first, engineer always.

Practical automation built around real operational constraints, using technology that makes work easier, not more complicated.

I'm an Industrial Engineer with over a decade of experience building automated data pipelines and reporting systems. My work starts with the people doing the manual work: the report rebuilt every week and the numbers nobody quite trusts. It ends with systems that handle it for them.

I combine scripting, automation platforms, and AI workflows with careful data governance, turning raw operational data into information teams can rely on, in regulated industries and fast-growing global operations alike.

02 / Services

Four ways I can help.

Automation, data engineering, business intelligence, and operational governance. These are delivered as working systems your team can depend on, not slide decks.

Operational Automation

Remove the repetitive work that quietly drains a team. I connect the systems you already use, automate the handoffs between them, and wrap the whole thing in logging and error handling so it runs without babysitting.

04 / Why organizations hire me

Why Organizations Hire Me

Most specialists build one part of the solution. I build the whole operating system around it. From process design and automation through data engineering, reporting, and executive visibility, I build systems that cut manual work and give leaders the numbers to decide with.

  • ✓Industrial Engineering foundation, so I design the process before I automate it
  • ✓Automation and AI implementation that ships, not slideware
  • ✓Data engineering and reporting people can trust
  • ✓An operations governance mindset built for scale
  • ✓A business-first read on every technical decision
  • ✓Clear documentation and stakeholder communication

05 / Case studies

Shipped systems, measured outcomes.

01Operational Automation

Zero manual media monitoring, 10,610 opportunities captured

A marketing team was scanning inbound journalist and media queries by hand and losing the ones that arrived overnight. I built a Gmail-driven monitor that reads incoming queries, structures them, and files them to a database on its own. It captured 10,610 opportunities with no copy-paste, so the team acted on leads instead of hunting for them.

02Operational Automation

Every booking becomes a briefed call, with no admin in between

A discovery-call booking used to mean manual calendar invites, notes docs, and follow-up emails. I built a pipeline where one form submission creates the calendar event and Meet link, writes a private prep doc, sends a tailored welcome email, and logs everything to a tracker. The operator arrives at each call already briefed.

03Operational Automation

Harmful links identified and removed before they damaged search visibility

Manual link review is slow and easy to skip. I built a tool that pulls a domain's backlinks, scores them for spam signals, and prepares the removal file. It turned a full day of manual checking into a scheduled run.

04Operational Automation

One place to answer customers across every platform

Replies were scattered across platforms and slow to go out. I built a web app that pulls conversations into a single view and drafts on-brand responses, so reply time drops and nothing slips through.

05Data Systems and Engineering

A P&L leadership can defend line by line

A lending operation ran its P&L on hardcoded numbers nobody could trace. I rebuilt it as a driver-based model where every figure follows from a stated assumption. Leadership could test scenarios and stand behind the numbers in a review.

06Data Systems and Engineering

Multi-location franchise numbers, unified and validated on their own

Two fitness studio franchise brands had performance data spread across locations and tools. I built the data system that pulls it together, validates it, and feeds one reporting layer, so head office compares studios on the same basis.

07Business Intelligence

One screen for 11,304 calls across 221 destinations

Call performance lived in exports nobody wanted to open. I built a command center that consolidates 11,304 calls across 221 destinations into one filterable view, so managers spot a problem in seconds instead of scrolling spreadsheets.

08Business Intelligence

A business health dashboard that updates itself

I built a single-page ops dashboard that reads live from booking and log data and shows volume, conversion, revenue, and system health, refreshed on its own. It replaced manual weekly reporting with a morning glance.

09Business Intelligence

Franchise leadership sees every studio on one page

Owners and head office needed to compare studios without waiting for someone to build a report. I built the dashboards that sit on top of the franchise data system and show each location against the same KPIs.

A content outreach team that delivers consistent results every month

As a Marketing Outreach Team Lead, I turned ad-hoc output into a repeatable process with clear standards, tracking, and quality controls. The team delivers consistent results across clients instead of depending on any one person.

Search visibility system for a solar brand built from scratch

I built the growth and visibility system for a solar brand from zero, from content targets through outreach to tracking, so growth came from a system rather than one-off effort.

A publishing system designed to attract and monetize search traffic

I built the content system behind marianne.click, a set of pillar articles with a publishing calendar and structured data, designed to rank and generate revenue through search.
