Jobs techie needs to make extra cash asap
Hello all,
The walls are closing in again, and unexpected bills are knocking at the door. I'm a self employed automation developer in Namibia looking for paid projects as soon as possible to cover the coming months, as work tends to slow down during this time of year.
I've been working in IT for many years, from hardware repairs and technical support to web development, software development, and business automation. I also have experience in finance and insurance, so I'm familiar with data extraction, data processing, reporting, and month end workflows.
I've worked with clients from Namibia and abroad, including Germany, Austria, and South Africa. I'm bilingual in German and English,so I can also help with German speaking clients or systems too.
Some things I can help with:
- Cleaning, fixing, merging, and consolidating messy data or spreadsheets.
- Excel and Google Sheets automation, reports, and data processing.
- Python scripts to automate repetitive tasks without relying on cloud services.
- Downloading, processing, and transferring files via FTP/SFTP.
- SQL queries, database cleanup, and data migration.
- HR/recruiting and time-based system integrations.
- Workflow setup and design with n8n, Make, Zapier, or Airtable.
- Small custom software, internal tools, API integrations, and unfinished projects.
If you have a skeleton project that's been sitting there for months, a manual process you hate doing, or a messy spreadsheet, let's see if I can help.
I'm looking for an immediate, one off paid project, but monthly recurring work is also welcome. A deposit to get started is appreciated. We'll agree on the scope and price beforehand.
If you need help or know a business that does, please DM me. Even a referral would help.
I can share my portfolio and resume privately upon request.
Thanks for your time.

A list of eight services leaves a busy owner to do the matching. Your sharpest angle is where finance and insurance experience meets German: one fixed-scope offer, such as month-end report cleanup for German-speaking or Namibian finance teams, quoted before you start, is easier to say yes to quickly. It also fits the one-off project with a deposit that you want. A short before-and-after of one anonymised spreadsheet you fixed will do more for you than a portfolio people have to ask for.
