Data Transformation & Visualization
Hi! I'm Ben!
I’m a a Shopify-focused eCommerce developer based in Colorado with over 25 years of hands-on professional experience turning ideas into revenue.
I create the systems, features, and optimizations that help brands grow faster and sell smarter.
If you’re serious about scaling on Shopify, let’s build something exceptional together.
Data Transformation & Visualization
This is one of my strongest skill sets. I’m exceptionally good at transforming, manipulating, and managing data using spreadsheets, especially Google Sheets. What often looks like magic to others is really a deep understanding of how to structure data, so it behaves predictably, updates automatically, and becomes genuinely useful.
I regularly take messy, inconsistent, or overly manual spreadsheets and turn them into clean, reliable systems that quietly do a surprising amount of work. In the right hands, spreadsheets aren’t fragile; they’re powerful, flexible tools for data transformation, analysis, and automation.
The Kind of Work I Do with Data
- Transform and normalize data so it’s clean, structured, and usable
- Merge and reconcile datasets from multiple sources into a single, trusted view
- Chain transformations so updates flow automatically end-to-end
- Analyze results to surface patterns, issues, and opportunities
- Produce custom feeds for other tools, platforms, and automations
Advanced Google Sheets Expertise
Google Sheets becomes a very different tool when used properly. I rely heavily on advanced built-in functions and disciplined structure to create spreadsheets that scale without turning into brittle messes.
- Dynamic, self-updating transformations that eliminate manual work
- Clear separation between raw inputs, transformation logic, and outputs
- Readable, maintainable formulas that don’t require constant babysitting
Automation and Clarity
A big focus of my data work is removing repetitive tasks entirely. Instead of copying, pasting, and fixing spreadsheets over and over, I design systems that just keep working.
- Automated cleaning and restructuring
- Built-in guardrails to reduce errors
- Repeatable workflows that scale with data volume
Visualization That Actually Helps
I design visualizations to answer fundamental questions, not to decorate reports. The goal is fast understanding and better decisions.
- Custom dashboards built directly in Google Sheets
- Charts tailored to specific decisions
- Clear views designed for operators and founders
If your spreadsheets feel fragile, confusing, or out of control, this kind of work often feels like alchemy when it’s done right. The result is calmer workflows, cleaner data, and systems you can actually trust.
