Good shit identifying something that could be automated! Seems like it's already paying off, and it's such an under utilized skill I'm sure you'll continue to be awarded for it. It's almost entirely why software engineers get paid so damn much.

Almost everything we do is with the goal of automating something, with the whole product often being some helpful automations for people's lives. The company I work for pulled a billion dollars in revenue and we just automate healthcare data ingress and egress.

Edit: Now that I think about it, it might be worth your time to learn some basic Python. Dead simple language but incredibly powerful.
