Business & IT ops, custom tools, runbooks, automation, AI

I turn messy business work into tools people actually use.

I am Brent. I find the repetitive, fragile, "why are we still doing it this way" parts of business operations and turn them into automations, checklists, scripts, and workflows. The advantage is knowing the process well enough to improve it and the tech well enough to build it.

The kind of work I like

Useful little systems for work that happens over and over.

Automation

Scripts, workflows, and small tools that take repeat work out of inboxes, spreadsheets, and memory.

AI-Assisted Agents

AI tools and agents for summaries, triage, document cleanup, validation, and exception handling where they make sense.

Runbooks

Checklists and procedures that make repeat work easier to run, teach, audit, and improve.

Projects

Things I have built, tested, or want to keep improving.

These are the kinds of business problems I like working on: practical, a little messy, and much better once the repeatable parts are captured.

Automation project Document Processing and Data Entry

Problem: Large-scale manual document review, scanning, and data entry created time waste, errors, and staffing pressure.

What I built: An RPA workflow with one manual scan touch, automated processing, validation, database loading, and human exception handling.

Why it helped: Processing dropped to minutes, backlogs could run around the clock, errors dropped by >99%, and manual review fell below 1%.

Tools: RPA orchestrator, OCR, database validation, ODBC database loading.

Time saved: >1,500 hours annually Impact: faster processing, cleaner data, fewer manual touches

Time saved since launch 0H 0M 0S

Estimated labor value $0

Coming soon New Automation Project

Details will be added shortly.

Coming soon New Workflow Build

Details will be added shortly.

Savings calculator

A quick way to size up repetitive work.

I built this to turn "it only takes a few minutes" into a rough monthly number. It is not a promise, just a useful gut check.

Resources

Public repos for the things I keep reaching for.

As I clean these up, this section will point to reusable material on GitHub: templates, scripts, forms, and notes that are useful beyond one workflow.

Checklists & Runbooks

Reusable procedures, operator checklists, handoff notes, and templates for recurring business work.

GitHub link coming soon Runbooks · templates · operational notes

Scripts & Utilities

Small automations, cleanup helpers, reporting utilities, and scripts I have built or adapted for repeat work.

GitHub link coming soon Scripts · automation · cleanup helpers

Forms & Documents

Intake forms, tracking documents, review templates, and other lightweight workflow materials.

About Brent

I care about the work behind the work.

I like the quiet parts of business operations that make everything else run better: clean handoffs, repeatable steps, fewer mystery spreadsheets, and tools that remove just enough friction to matter. This site is where I collect the projects, docs, and experiments I am building around that kind of work.
