Looking for a fully remote role in data quality, validation, or workflow optimization. Prefer async, structured environments focused on internal accuracy, not sales or client work. Open to contract or full-time roles that value documentation, clean data, and systems thinking.

Remote QA & Data Ops | Clean data, workflow logic, and audit-ready results across complex systems
What I'm looking for
I help remote teams reduce risk, validate inputs, and clean up complex workflows. With deep experience in eligibility systems, compliance reviews, and quality assurance, I’ve maintained 98%+ accuracy across thousands of Medicaid, SNAP, and TANF records. I’ve supported documentation, peer training, and backend QA for public sector programs and federal contracts.
Now I’m building real tools — not just case notes. I'm using Python, SQL, and Advanced Excel to automate data validation, streamline audit prep, and generate cleaner, more reliable reporting outputs. I’ve developed internal SOP generators, CSV validation scripts, and hybrid Excel/Python tools to track case logic and reduce manual work.
My focus: structured data, fast feedback loops, and tools that make real decisions easier.
Currently open to remote roles in:
• Data Quality / QA
• Operational Reporting
• Compliance Support
• Public Sector Data Analysis
• Internal Tooling or SOP Automation
I'm based in Hawai‘i, work async, and thrive in remote, logic-driven environments. Available across all U.S. time zones.
