I take enterprise clients live on contract and document management software. Ten years of it: discovery and configuration, moving a client's legacy contracts and documents into the new system, proving every load reconciles before anyone signs off, then training the people who have to use it. 8 to 12 client go-lives a year, 60+ data and document migrations, zero rollbacks. Healthcare and higher education. Migrations fail on bad source data, not bad loads, so I profile and reconcile before anything moves.
How I walk a client migration through: eight stages, eight written sign-offs, and the workbook that runs them.
Generates realistic fictional test documents — PDF, Word, Excel — for QA and data-engineering testing.
Profiles a messy spreadsheet and flags data-quality issues in a plain audit report.
A calm typing trainer for the symbols data work runs on — brackets, braces, operators.
Step-by-step how-tos and concept guides, written for beginners: SQL · Excel · Power BI · Tableau · Python and pandas · statistics and charts · data migration · getting your tools set up · the judgment calls that come with the job.
Full write-ups for each of these, with the method and the reasoning behind every design choice, are on the analyst portfolio.

Slow, observed, made by hand — charcoal animal portraits, mostly dogs, drawn from life and reference. Draw what's actually there, not what you assume.
Growing guides written while the job is happening, not remembered a season later. Harvesting and saving seed, step by step, zone 7a. Lead with the signal, not the instruction.
