I build an auditable document-processing layer that converts real, messy, unstructured data into structured data and makes your RAG system actually work. My longest engagement ran two years on retainer โ€” a water consultancy processing lab reports across 10+ changing layout variations, where I cut manual data entry by 75%. Based in the UK. Most clients find me after something that was partly working stops working. The extraction script handled 80% of documents fine, then broke on the rest and the team can't explain why. That's the failure mode I'm specifically set up to prevent. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ HOW I WORK My job is to know the failure modes before we write the first line of code. I start with the simplest approach and iterate from there. Over-engineering is the most common failure mode in document processing โ€” reaching for LLMs when regex would do, or building custom infrastructure when a single API call would do. My pipeline development follows the same sequence every time: 1. Define the schema first If I can't describe what clean output looks like, extraction will always be unreliable. Pydantic schema before touching any document. 2. Establish a regex baseline A deterministic check tells me exactly where the hard cases are before introducing any probabilistic tool. 3. Introduce LLMs incrementally Start with the simplest prompt possible. Iterate against real documents. If a simpler rule-based approach gets you 90% of the way, I'll say so โ€” and we'll skip the LLM. 4. Apply layout detection last Only where variation genuinely requires it. This sequence keeps pipelines predictable, testable, debuggable, and maintainable. The system that breaks on document 47 with no explanation is the most common complaint I hear from clients who've tried other solutions first. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Thanks to Subhajit's work, we are saving countless hours having to manually enter results into our own template." "Subhajit's professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and expert handling of our project were apparent from the outset." "He always delivers great results. His communication is clear, he takes feedback well, and he consistently finds effective solutions." โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ WHAT I DO IDP Diagnostic & Action Plan โ€” fixed price If your document pipeline is failing or underperforming, I audit your current approach, identify failure points, and deliver a written action plan with execution steps. Implementation is optional and available on request. Document Extraction Pipeline I build systems that extract structured data from PDFs, invoices, lab reports, contracts, and email attachments. They handle layout variation and format drift โ€” the things that break simpler solutions in production. System Integration & Ongoing Support I connect extraction pipelines to downstream systems: Excel, databases, APIs, and internal tools. Retainer support is available as your document types evolve. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ RESULTS - Cut manual data entry by 75% for a water consultancy processing lab reports across 10+ changing layout variations - Maintained and expanded over a two-year retainer โ€” the system became central to the client's daily operations - Extended the pipeline to process email attachments directly, removing a manual download-and-upload step โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ TECHNICAL STACK Document Processing: pdfplumber, PyMuPDF LLMs & Extraction: OpenAI API (GPT-4o-mini) Validation & Structure: Pydantic, JSON schema Backend & APIs: FastAPI, REST API design Databases: PostgreSQL Version Control: Git, GitHub โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ LET'S START SMALL Start with a Diagnostic Session. Fixed price: $250. You share your documents and describe the problem. I review your current approach, identify the exact failure points, and deliver a written action plan with implementation steps. No long commitment. If you choose to proceed, we scope the full pipeline together. If not, you still have a concrete plan you can share with anyone. Send me a message with a brief description of your document problem. I'll tell you within 24 hours whether I can help and how.

I'm a freelancer that specialises in solving difficult, technical real world problems that other's walk away from. I can help you with any problems involving: Data processing and analysis Web scraping Mathematics Statistics Quant Finance Optimisation Linux system administration (including online cloud platforms) SQL database administration Scripting in VBA, python, bash, php and anything else that is similar Automation of repetitive administrative tasks (dovetails nicely with aforementioned tools) Any other technical problems in a variety of fields which don't neatly fit into this list. I have written a lot of webscrapers, robust, fully automated, running every day with no human intervention. I've written linear regression models to identify second hand cars priced below market rates. I have written low level C code to quickly calculate a Fast Fourier Transform on limited hardware. I have done a lot of Monte Carlo simulation in R. I've written C code to integrate systems of differential equations to calculate a bullet's trajectory. My educational background is bachelors in mathematics, and a masters in finance. Programming languages I use range from low to high level: Assembly C C++ Python R VBA Bash Google script Other tools at my disposal: Google Cloud Virtual machines Windows servers Linux servers I look forward to discussing your projects with you.
