Projects

Software I've built, systems I've modernized, and problems I've solved.

In Production

Billing & Invoicing Automation

Custom software that bridges Command Alkon Cloud and Sage 50 Accounting. Transforms billing data exports into Sage-ready imports, validates customers, products, tax codes, and assigns invoice numbers. Replaced a fully manual process that used to involve collecting printed tickets from every plant and hand-entering them into Sage.
