Aaron Clewis / Analytics / Automation

Aaron builds decision systems, reporting workflows, and practical automation for real-world business operations.

He works best where analysis and implementation stay close together: forecasting, reporting, modeling, internal tools, workflow automation, and AI-supported operational systems that need to hold up in the real world.

Programming depth

10,000+ hours of programming experience across analytics, automation, reporting, and hands-on systems work.

Problem types

Forecasting, predictive modeling, workflow automation, internal tools, reporting systems, and operational decision support.

Domains

Retail, financial services, and collision-repair operations, with a bias toward messy environments that need practical structure.

What he does

Capabilities

Data wrangling

Clean, reconcile, reshape, and summarize messy real-world data so teams can actually trust and use it.

Reporting systems

Build repeatable reporting workflows that cut manual effort and give operators and leaders timely visibility.

Workflow automation

Replace repetitive manual steps with scripts, pipelines, and lightweight systems that reduce friction and mistakes.

SQL, Python, and bash

Use practical programming to extract, transform, analyze, and operationalize data in real business environments.

Forecasting

Build forecasting processes and models that support planning, tracking, and better day-to-day decision-making.

Predictive modeling

Apply analytical and statistical modeling when it improves targeting, risk evaluation, or operating outcomes.

Decision support

Turn analysis into tools, outputs, and workflows that real operators, managers, and executives can act on.

AI workflow integration

Use AI where it improves intake, triage, or operational throughput, not just because it sounds current.

Selected work

Problems Aaron has solved

The point is not just analysis in the abstract. It is building systems, workflows, and outputs that help people make decisions, move work forward, and reduce manual drag.

Holiday demand planning

Ecommerce analytics and forecasting

Built forecasting workflows for ecommerce leadership during high-variance retail periods where planning quality and timing both mattered.

Helped decision-makers move faster with a more structured view of demand instead of leaning on one-off manual analysis.

Production credit modeling

Regulated data and model implementation

Worked on production credit models in a regulated environment where analytical rigor and practical implementation both had to hold up.

Supported modeling work that needed to be reliable, defensible, and usable inside a real production context.

Replacing a broken estimate-intake stack with one usable sales workflow

Systems integration, CRM ownership, workflow design, and applied AI

Aaron helped replace a patchwork process spread across BodyShop Booster, handwritten notes, a failed call-center layer, and improvised CCC syncing with a more durable operating system for intake, estimating, customer communication, reporting, and sales follow-up.

The result was a workflow the sales team could actually run on: cloud-based where it mattered, resilient when photos or AI failed, and far less dependent on manual rescue work.

GoHighLevel, estimating, and CCC in one flow

Built a CCC data-sync process from scratch using website scraping, later moved it to the cloud, and connected that data with GoHighLevel, a ChatGPT-based estimator, customer communication, and reporting so the business could work from one coherent process instead of several disconnected tools.

Photo-quality controls and resilient AI handoffs

Evaluated Tractable AI, added Python-based photo-quality checks and guided upload prompts, and built fallback behavior so poor photos or failed AI runs would still move the lead forward.

Admin support for messy real-world leads

Served as the GoHighLevel administrator and added staff-mode overrides so the sales team could work imperfect leads when VINs, photos, or other inputs were incomplete.

Recurring ecommerce reporting

Reporting automation

Built and improved recurring ecommerce reporting so leadership could get consistent visibility without rebuilding the same outputs every cycle.

Reduced manual reporting effort and tightened the cadence between new data and usable business reporting.

Sensitive consumer data workflows

Disciplined analytical process

Worked with sensitive consumer data in a context where process discipline, repeatability, and sound judgment mattered as much as raw analytical ability.

Kept analytical work grounded in workflows that could stand up to scrutiny instead of living as one-off analysis.

Personal computing

Computers as a craft

"Many people learn to use tools, but not everyone genuinely loves using computers to get work done."

Aaron is in that second group. He likes programming for its own sake, likes the command line, likes building systems, and likes the feeling of taking something messy and making it coherent. That matters because the work does not stop when the ticket is done. The curiosity stays on.

The result is a working style shaped by long-running personal computing habits: scripting, Linux, self-hosted tools, infrastructure experiments, data workflows, and a strong preference for understanding how the machinery actually works.

Why it matters

Teams benefit when someone does not just tolerate technical tools, but actively likes using them well.

That tends to produce better debugging, better automation, better judgment around tooling, and more patience for the rough edges that real systems always have.

Programming as habit

Programming is not just something Aaron learned for work. It is a durable habit, a preferred way of thinking, and a toolset he keeps returning to because he genuinely enjoys it.

Personal computing depth

Self-hosted systems, Linux workflows, scripting, automation, data tooling, and long-running technical curiosity are part of the same continuum rather than separate hobbies.

10,000+ hours of programming

That experience shows up in the way Aaron approaches systems: practical, hands-on, and comfortable moving from messy inputs to durable outputs.

Approach

How Aaron works

He does his best work on messy, real business problems where analysis and implementation stay close together. The goal is not theory for its own sake. The goal is useful systems, cleaner decisions, and less waste in the workflow.

Keep analysis close to implementation so ideas do not die in handoff.

Prefer durable systems over heroics and repeated manual rescue work.

Translate rough, messy operations into tools people can actually use.

2021 - 2025

Career break

From June 2021 through December 2025, Aaron took a planned career break focused on primary family caregiving, independent research, and continued technical development. During that period he stayed hands-on through self-hosted systems, automation work, and ongoing study across analytics, infrastructure, and digital-asset market structure.

Now

What Aaron is looking for

Location

Primarily remote. Open to the right in-person or hybrid opportunity in Parkland / South Florida, Coppell / DFW, and possibly Reno / nearby.

Best fit

Work involving SQL, Python, bash, forecasting, analytics, workflow automation, internal tools, reporting systems, or decision-support workflows.
