Every week, someone on your team rebuilds the same report by hand.
They export it, clean it, check it against last week, and send it out. It takes most of a day, it breaks when someone renames a column, and only one person knows how it works. I build the automation and internal tools that take that work off their desk.
No pitch deck. You describe the report or the process, I tell you whether it's worth automating.

Built for teams that can't just move their data somewhere else
Most automation advice assumes you can sign up for a tool and upload everything to it. That isn't an option in a lot of the places where the manual work is worst.
- Operations and finance leadswho own a recurring report nobody has time to fix.
- Small firms in regulated workinsurance, security, healthcare-adjacent, where client data has to stay put.
- Engineering and design teamswho need a tracker or a test harness, not a whole platform.
- Owners running the business on spreadsheetsthat have quietly become critical systems.
If you need a full data platform, a staffed BI department, or someone on site five days a week, I'm not the right fit, and I'll say so on the call.
Three ways to start
Fixed scope, quoted as a project. You'll know the price before the work starts.
The Report RescueMost common
One recurring report, automated end to end: pull, clean, reconcile, publish.
From $2,0002–4 weeks
Internal tools and trackers
The replacement for the shared spreadsheet that four people edit at once.
From $4,0003–6 weeks
Data Health Check
A paid audit of where your reporting time goes and what's worth automating first.
$1,500One week
A project I owned end to end
A 194-page content property had to move to a new domain without losing its search history. I mapped every old URL to its replacement, built and verified the redirect architecture, then diagnosed indexing through Search Console and rebuilt the analytics so the numbers meant something, including finding that a chunk of the reported traffic wasn't real.
The same work shows up in client projects under different names: reconciliation, verification, and measurement. The site happens to be mine, which is why I can show you all of it.
This is my own property, not a client engagement, and it's labeled that way deliberately. Client case studies are in progress and will be published with permission.
- 194
- pages migrated with a verified one-to-one redirect map
- 0
- redirect chains or broken links at cutover
- 1 week
- from flip to confirmed re-indexing in Search Console
Who you'd be working with
I'm Anna. I build reporting automation, internal tools, and dashboards for small teams, and I work in the Pacific Northwest.
My background runs across education, finance and accounting, insurance technical support, and data analytics, which mostly means I've been the person on the receiving end of the broken weekly report more than once. The network security training is the part that matters here: it's why my first question is where your data is allowed to live, and why the answer is usually a tool that runs inside your environment rather than one that copies everything out of it.
You work with me directly. There's no account manager, and nothing gets handed to a subcontractor.
- Certified Data Analyst
- Associate degree, Network Security
- Power BI, Python, SQL, and workflow automation
- Based in the Pacific Northwest, working remotely
