Services

Services that make a measurable difference.

From a Fabric assessment to a finished tool. You choose the entry point, I deliver the result.

Data governance and security

So your data does not just flow, but stays controlled and traceable.

  • Design and implementation with Microsoft Purview
  • Role, access and audit concepts

AI agents and workflow automation

Automated processes instead of manual work. With n8n and AI agents that work directly on your data.

  • End-to-end workflows with n8n, REST APIs and Notion
  • Integration into existing systems instead of new silos

Full-stack data tools and dashboards

Custom tools instead of spreadsheet chaos. From the database to the finished interface.

  • Built with FastAPI, Supabase/PostgreSQL and React
  • Power BI dashboards and reports (DAX)

Results, not promises.

Enterprise data platform or skilled-trades business: I digitise whatever is really slowing your company down.

of working time saved per week

From paper notes to digital site management

Starting point
Quotes and project descriptions were typed up from handwritten notes; the crews on site were organised on paper.
Solution
Migration to and setup of HERO Software: digital team and project management, with data captured directly on site via tablet.
Result
At least 16 hours saved per week. Projects are recorded live on site instead of being transcribed afterwards.

How we work together.

Four steps, clear responsibilities, no black box. You always know where the project stands.

Analysis

Together we review processes, data sources and costs. The result: a clear picture of where the biggest lever is.

Design

Architecture, timeline and budget on one page. No surprises, no black box.

Delivery

Iterative and in close coordination. You see progress in weeks, not quarters.

Support

After go-live I stay on board: monitoring, fine-tuning and training your team.

Away from data I make music with Suno, and built a small browser game around it: fly a drone through five stations, each with its own track. Play Stonitex Flight

Career.
