About

Universities run on approval chains that live in email. I replace them with automation inside the systems they already own. At an R1 university's graduate school, I built the deferral automation that took request-to-decision from 1-2 weeks to 1-3 days across ~20,000 Slate application records. It's still in production, six months after I left. Stack: Technolutions Slate (certified) + JavaScript/SQL/REST + Power Automate/Make/Zapier, with the part most automation people skip: SOPs, training, and audit trails, so your team owns the system, not me. Open to full-time, contract, and consulting roles in higher-ed operations, CRM administration, and business automation.
