I turn everyday IT pain into tools that ship.

I'm Francis โ€” an IT support professional who doesn't stop at closing the ticket. I spot the recurring problem, then build the no-code, low-code, or automated tool that makes it disappear. From RFID device-detection platforms to floor-ops dashboards, I ship solutions that save my team real time.

About me

The short version: I'm the person who asks "why does this keep happening?" โ€” and then builds the fix.

I work in IT support at an Amazon fulfillment center, where fast, reliable hardware and systems keep the whole operation moving. My day-to-day is imaging laptops, managing assets, resolving incidents, and keeping the floor running โ€” but what sets my work apart is the layer I build on top of it.

I follow a simple philosophy borrowed from Amazon's own innovation culture: start with the problem, not the technology. When I notice a recurring headache โ€” broken scanners disappearing into a damage bin, parts stock running dry without warning, gear getting forgotten on off-site runs โ€” I design a tool that pulls from data that already exists, so nobody has to add a single manual step to their day.

The result is a growing toolkit of shipped solutions: an RFID device-detection platform, live operations dashboards, automated alert systems, and productivity userscripts. I build them, document them on internal wikis, and pitch them through formal innovation proposals. I'd love to bring that same problem-first, ship-it energy to your team.

Project Kitsune

Configurable RFID device-detection & alert platform
ProblemBroken handheld scanners dropped into the red damage bin sat unnoticed โ€” no one knew they needed repair or replacement.
SolutionReused the site's existing RFID scanner tags to auto-detect a device entering a watch-point (the damage bin) and instantly alert IT โ€” no manual logging.
ImpactA configurable platform, not a one-off: red bin and printer shelf were the first two setups. Fully documented + pitched via a formal innovation proposal.

ScanOut

Scanner check-out system & kiosk workflow
ProblemTracking who had which shared scanner โ€” and getting them returned โ€” was inconsistent and hard to audit.
SolutionDesigned and authored a check-out workflow with a kiosk flow and full internal documentation so any tech could run it the same way.
ImpactStandardized the process end-to-end, complete with a printable quick-reference card and cross-linked SOP wiki pages.

Dojo Board

Live on-site operations dashboard
ProblemNo single view of the team's schedule, who's on site, and who's on leave โ€” info was scattered across chats and spreadsheets.
SolutionBuilt a three-tab dashboard โ€” Schedule, Vacation/Leave board, and a live "Who's On Site" presence view with a fullscreen TV kiosk mode.
ImpactRuns on the cage display as an at-a-glance wall board, giving the whole team instant situational awareness.

Stock Watch

Parts & stock low-watermark alerting
ProblemCritical spare parts would run out without warning, stalling repairs until someone noticed the empty shelf.
SolutionA shared SharePoint List with auto-calculated status colors plus a Power Apps deploy/receive portal โ€” one tap at hand-out, no overhead.
ImpactThe whole team sees live stock levels; low-watermark alerts flag reorders before parts hit zero. Documented on an internal wiki.

Tote Tracker

Off-site deployment & repair-tote visibility
ProblemGear staged in cage totes for off-site delivery stations got forgotten on runs, and repair items sat with unknown status.
SolutionIndividual item tracking on a shared list โ€” one row per asset with site, direction, status, and linked ticket โ€” filterable into a pre-trip pack list.
ImpactKills the "forgot the laptops" miss and gives clear repair status; phased email/Slack alerts on pending actions.

Productivity Userscript Suite

Blurb Bank ยท Shift Handoff Builder ยท KB Search
ProblemRepetitive typing of ticket resolution notes, manual shift handoffs, and slow knowledge-base lookups ate into every shift.
SolutionA suite of Tampermonkey userscripts: a 25-blurb template bank with an AI-prompt builder, an auto shift-handoff generator, and inline wiki search โ€” all pulling from data already on the page.
ImpactOne-click access to standardized notes and handoffs; no manual logging, no extra steps.
