Workflow Automation
Replace the two-hour weekly task with something that runs in seconds.
A person spends two hours a week on a task a script could do in seconds. I find those tasks and automate them - sometimes a background job, sometimes a small tool. Rarely a full rebuild, and I will tell you when it is not.
Who this is for
Small teams where one person still exports CSVs, reformats spreadsheets, or moves data between tools because "that is just how we do it."
Sound familiar?
- The same report gets built by hand every Monday.
- Automation was tried once but nobody trusts it when it breaks.
- You are not sure if the fix is Zapier, a script, or a new app.
What you get
- Repeatable workflows that run on a schedule or on events.
- Alerts when automation fails - not silent drift.
- Honest guidance on what is worth automating vs. fixing upstream.
Deliverables
- Background jobs, scheduled tasks, and event-driven workflows
- Internal tools that replace manual copy-paste work
- Light scripting when a script beats a platform
- Logging and alerts for failure visibility
- Automation ROI notes: time saved vs. maintenance cost
How I work
- Watch the manual process once - timing and error paths included.
- Automate the boring, error-prone steps first.
- Keep a human checkpoint where judgment matters.
