Founder of Parsea
I'm an entrepreneur and software engineer with extensive experience in the tech industry and Fortune 500 companies. I worked as an analyst before getting into software engineering, spending my days deep in spreadsheets. I used to handle multiple sheets and documents with different data sources. Now I'm building Parsea to help others automate those same workflows I used to do manually. I write about the technical side of document processing, spreadsheets, productivity, and automation.
