I build precision Excel automation, interactive dashboards, and custom templates as a MSFT Certified Excel Expert with 20+ years experience.
Welcome to my profile! I am new to Guru, but not new to delivering robust, scalable Excel-based solutions.
I am a Microsoft Certified Excel Expert (MO-211) with over 20 years of Excel experience implementing complex automation logic and specialized data models. Having spent 15 years at Fortune 500 companies—Fidelity Investments, Citigroup, and AT&T—I bring a level of precision, logic, and data integrity that is rare in the freelance market.
Expertise You Can Leverage:
► Interactive Dashboards & Visualization: Transforming raw, messy data into dynamic, visual summaries for instant business insights.
► Custom Template Design: Building 'plug-and-play' workbooks that allow you to paste raw data and receive instant, professional-grade insights.
► Power Query & Data Transformation: Expert 'data doctoring'—fixing broken workbooks and cleaning messy data from exports for seamless analysis.
► Advanced Data Modeling: Using advanced skills to create sophisticated Pivot Tables, Pivot Charts, and multi-layered data summaries.
► User-Friendly Macros (Non-VBA): Skilled at creating easy-to-use macros with user-friendly form control to easily complete repeatable tasks.
► Complex Formula Engineering: Expert-level mastery of logic-based formulas (XLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, INDEX / MATCH) and Dynamic Arrays (FILTER, UNIQUE, SORTBY) to automate manual workflows.
Data Integrity Meets Cybersecurity
Unique to my service is my background as a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). In an era of increasing data breaches, I specialize in the KPIs/KRIs for Cybersecurity and Risk Metrics. When I build a solution for you, I’m not just thinking about formulas—I’m thinking about the security and reliability of your information.
The Professional Standard
Every project is performed with:
✓ Highest standard of quality
✓ Keen eye for detail
✓ Focus on scalability
✓ Highly effective communication
My #1 goal is always your 100% satisfaction. I am not finished until the solution works perfectly for your specific needs and you are completely confident in the results.
