You might remember me from such projects as
“Excel Spreadsheets – The Never-Ending Hell” and “Dr. Bing, and the Craziest Search History on the Internet.”

You don’t want someone to pitch you their entire service catalog.
You want someone who actually understands what you’re going through.

I’ve been helping small businesses automate since 2022 — especially solo founders and lean teams buried in admin work.

I’ve lived that chaos too: late nights, chasing invoices, endless emails.

So I built a smarter way to run things with tools like SmartSuite, Make, and ChatGPT.

Now I help others do the same — by identifying the pain points, streamlining workflows, and giving you back your time.

Let’s make your systems work for you —
not the other way around.

Now I help others do the same:
Find the pain points. Automate the busywork. Get your time back.
