Jacob Meischner
@jacobmeischner
Experienced Excel VBA developer specializing in automation, bulk processing, and reliable file I/O.
What I'm looking for
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.
