Process Automation ~ Power Automater ~ Prompt Engineering

Process Automation Expert | Excel VBA & Power Automate Specialist | AI + RPA Explorer After 13 years of building automation solutions in Excel and VBA — from payroll systems to complex F&F workflows — I now focus on designing modern, intelligent automations using Microsoft Power Automate, RPA, and AI-powered tools. I’m deeply interested in how prompt engineering, generative AI, and cloud-connected flows can replace repetitive work with smart, self-operating systems. My goal is simple: make operations faster, error-free, and future-proof. When I’m not automating Excel or building flows, I’m testing how AI can enhance decision-making and bring creative automation into everyday business.
