What I'm looking for

I seek roles building reliable automation and standardized exports, collaborating with stakeholders, documenting solutions, and enabling smooth handoffs to non-technical users.

I am an Excel VBA developer focused on building robust automation that scales across multi-project codebases and production workflows. I design array-based processing, Scripting.Dictionary lookups, class-module event orchestration, and userform-driven interfaces to reduce manual work and errors.

My work emphasizes performance and predictability: read-once/transform-in-memory/write-once patterns, dictionary-based mapping and de-duplication, and guarded event handling with logging and validation. I implement safe file I/O routines for atomic saves, directory management, and standardized exports.

I have delivered tools used by dozens of analysts and clinical teams, including a Clinical Data Automation Suite, a Multi-Workbook Consolidation Tool, and a standardized Result File Builder. I also collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements, document solutions, and enable smooth handoffs to non-technical users.

I bring production experience developing maintainable VBA frameworks, contributing to SOPs and training, and supporting SQL-backed reporting workflows. I seek roles where I can improve operational reliability and help teams scale repeatable processes.
