01 / Things you can try

Start with a question.
Try the tool.

Two examples of tools I’ve built with AI. Explore a pricing report or change the assumptions in a sales forecast. Every demo uses fictional data.

Python · Market evidence · Pricing

Parts Pricing

Which resale prices deserve a second look? Compare list prices with market evidence, and separate useful findings from questionable matches.

About these demos. Parts Pricing is a saved report; Sales Outlook recalculates in your browser. The company and all figures are fictional. Neither demo connects to live company systems.

02 / Selected work

Finance experience.
Hands-on execution.

The tools are one part of the story. The foundation is owning the accounting, understanding the operation, and carrying a system through to use.

The Kinetic Migration
~30users across the business

A new financial and operating system, one Wave at a time.

I owned the move from JobBoss2 to Epicor Kinetic over roughly eighteen months, from the first operational modules through the general ledger.

03 / What I’m working on

There’s usually a new
question on my desk.

Lately, I’ve been exploring how AI-assisted coding can help me build better finance tools—from checking the numbers behind a report to making a forecast easier to work with.

This site is a work in progress, too. I’m using it to share what I build and what I learn along the way.
