Internal tools and automation that hold up against your real data.

I'm Andrew Ryan, a freelance data and automation consultant based in Belgium. I fix, build and automate the tools teams run on, and I check them against your own files before I hand them over.

For any team whose work runs on spreadsheets, exports and tools that don’t talk to each other, with or without developers of its own.

Sound familiar?

Where the work usually starts.

A spreadsheet only one person really understands.

A report rebuilt by hand every month, or for every board meeting.

Tools that don’t talk, so the same data gets typed in twice.

Numbers nobody quite trusts, so meetings start by arguing about them.

Staff using ChatGPT on personal accounts, and nobody has said what’s allowed.

Any one of these is enough for a first call.
