The custom menu above is from a Contract Management System I developed for a long-term client. By integrating a robust database as the backbone of what was once a disorganized spreadsheet system, the CEO and I have implemented much-needed discipline in their contract management process. This transformation has not only significantly reduced errors, but also recaptured lost revenue, delivering measurable improvements to their operations. I also taught the COO to code along the way!
