• Proposal and feasibility assessments for BI and reporting projects

• Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development

• Custom ERP system

• Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.

• Approach: Captured the business processes and requirements, modelled the data and developed iteratively together with the business team.

• Implementation: Built a tailored, web-based ERP system with a central database, role-based modules and automated reporting – delivered using AI-assisted development in Claude Code.

• Timesheet app

• Starting point: Time tracking based on an overgrown, macro-heavy Excel template – maintenance-intensive, single-user and error-prone.

• Implementation: Migrated all functionality and VBA macros into a standalone web app with central data storage, multi-user support and automated reporting.

• Cash-flow modelling

• Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.

• Implementation: Built and extended the CF model to include project-development cash flows.

• Optimisation: Reviewed and optimised existing CF models and expanded the KPI outputs for reporting and steering.
