Finance Ops × Legal-Ops × Automation
Seven years across GCCs, consulting, and legal-ops — running Record-to-Report for US clients, and stepping in when a vendor dispute threatens the close.
The Hybrid Advantage
The intersection of the two is where institutional risk hides. I work in that gap — reconciling the number and interrogating the obligation behind it, so a small disagreement stays small.
Record-to-Report cycles, GL reconciliation, and month-end close for US-based clients. Comfortable across SAP, QuickBooks, Sage, and Oracle — and accountable for the deadline, not just the entry.
LL.B, AIBE-cleared, PGD in Arbitration & Mediation in progress. When a revenue recognition discrepancy or vendor dispute lands, I work the clause — not just the escalation.
Tools that shipped and stayed shipped — not slideware. If a task runs the same way every Monday, it shouldn’t need a person on Monday.
Selected Builds
Each of these started as a complaint about a recurring task. None of them required a budget — just an afternoon and a reason to stop doing it manually.
Google Apps Script
Monthly payslip generation and distribution was eating days of admin time. I built a script that generates, personalises, and emails every payslip automatically.
Deployed for 400–500 employees. Monthly overhead: days → minutes.
Delivery & Deliverability
Law firms and finance teams needed to send high-volume client and compliance correspondence without landing in spam. I built mailing infrastructure tuned for deliverability at scale.
Reliable mass comms without tripping filters.
Internal Controls
Physical asset records at a branch office were incomplete and unverifiable. I engineered a QR-based tagging and tracking system so every asset could be scanned, verified, and audited.
Deployed at branch level. Tangible audit-control improvement.
Field Notes & Perspectives
Observations on month-end discipline, contractual boundary friction, and lean operations.
When reconciliations breach calendar deadlines, the root cause is rarely arithmetic. It is ambiguous vendor delivery milestones, unaccrued disputes, and undefined sign-off clauses lingering in the agreement.
By the time legal receives an escalation, months of balance discrepancies have already crystallized. Treating GL variance as early-stage contract mediation eliminates legal spend before arbitration starts.
Most teams buy five-figure subscription software to solve a three-step recurring chore. A 60-line Google Apps Script written on Friday afternoon delivers immediate compliance without a procurement cycle.

Information Technology Support Specialist (Dec 2014 – Jan 2018)
Started as a backyard venture during school and grew it from local desktop support into structural IT work for nearby institutions. I began as lead engineer, then moved into PR and marketing as the client base scaled. During the first wave of COVID-19, we kept students, schools, and small businesses operational. This is where the habit of automating things started — and where I learned that word of mouth outperforms paid advertising every time.
