97% useless. 3% useful. A data portfolio nobody asked for.
I've always chased new tech, mostly to stop wasting my own time. Most people don't need corporate systems either. A lot gets solved quickly, cleanly, and well. That's why I'm here.
Public data and small systems, pulled apart in public. The honest 3 percent.
No platforms, no monthly lock-in. Usually it's one thing that needs to stop being manual, and Google's own tools plus a small site or an NFC tag are enough to do it.
Apps Script across Sheets, Gmail, Drive, Calendar and Forms. Less copying by hand, fewer missed steps.
Clear reports in Looker Studio and Sheets. One place, kept up to date on its own.
Small sites that collect enquiries, trigger an automation, or show a live report. Not brochures.
NFC chips and QR codes printed in house. Tap or scan to open a form, a dashboard, or start a job.
A few of the everyday ones. Or close to it.
Emails, messages, scraps of paper, all in different places.
→ One form, one sheet, one view.
A cell changes in a sheet and the team hears about it late.
→ A script emails you the moment it does.
Leads arrive and quietly vanish into an inbox.
→ Straight onto a live dashboard you read.
Walking around with a clipboard and a pen.
→ Tap a tag, type the number, done.
I've always been the person who tries the new thing, usually to save myself time. Somewhere along the way that turned into building the tools instead of just using them.
I've spent years spotting where time quietly leaks away. What surprised me is how much you can fix with free, everyday tools, mostly Google's own kit. No corporate licences, no bloated systems. I care about simple solutions that hold up.
And I'll tell you when something isn't worth building.
Fill this in and see how I work. Describe the task you keep doing by hand, and I'll tell you honestly whether a simple fix is worth it.
