Where eight years of retail planning experience meets the technical skill to build what's needed.

Built From Both Sides of the Problem

I spent eight years on the Merchandise Planning and Allocation side of retail, across every stage of the planning process, from initial assortment decisions through in-season inventory management, working inside the same systems and processes my clients use today. Along the way, I taught myself the technical skills to do something about what I saw: the manual work, the disconnected systems, and the tools that never quite fit the way the business ran.

In 2019 I taught myself VBA to rebuild a broken internal tool, and discovered that the most valuable thing I could bring to a planning team wasn't just better results, it was a better system for producing them. That realization led to a continued investment in data and analytics education, culminating in an Applied Data Science certificate through MIT Professional Education, and eventually a consulting practice built entirely around closing that gap.

What I deliver isn't off-the-shelf software adapted to your process. It's tools built from scratch around your process. That's a distinction that matters.

What I Build With

Excel & VBA

Advanced Excel modeling, full VBA development, ListObjects, UserForms, ribbon customization, and workbook architecture for enterprise-grade deployments.

Python

Data analysis, automation scripting, ETL workflows, and statistical modeling. Used for development tooling and data pipeline work.

SQL & Databases

Database querying, data modeling, and integration with client data warehouses. Experience connecting Excel-based tools to live data sources.

Web Development

HTML, CSS, JavaScript for fully self-contained web applications. Built for clients who need something beyond Excel but lighter than enterprise software.

How I Approach Every Engagement

🎯

Understand Before Building

Every engagement starts with discovery: mapping your current process in detail before a single line of code is written. The best tool is the one that fits your process, not the one that requires you to adapt to it.

📦

Fully Self-Contained Deliverables

Everything I build is designed to run without me. No ongoing license, no dependency on a third-party platform I control. When the project is done, the tool is yours. Completely.

Honest Scoping

If a custom tool isn't the right answer for your problem, I'll tell you. The goal is a solution that works, not a project for the sake of a project.
