We are building a HIPAA-compliant SaaS platform for medication stewardship in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The platform allows clinical pharmacy consultants and providers to upload scanned medical documents, run AI-powered medication and disease state reviews, and generate clinical findings — all without storing any patient data. This is a focused, well-defined MVP. No scope creep. We need a developer who moves fast, communicates clearly, and has real experience with HIPAA-eligible AWS architecture. Core concept — stateless processing: This platform is intentionally stateless. Documents are uploaded, processed through OCR, analyzed by AI, and the findings are displayed to the user. Nothing is written to a database. No patient data or documents are retained after the session ends. The platform processes PHI transiently and discards it — significantly simplifying the HIPAA footprint while maintaining compliance. What you will build: 1. AWS infrastructure (HIPAA-eligible, stateless) — S3 used only as a temporary processing buffer (files deleted immediately after OCR completes) — AWS Textract for OCR processing of scanned PDFs and images — AWS Bedrock (Claude Sonnet) for AI-powered clinical analysis — AWS Cognito for user authentication only (no clinical data stored) — AWS Amplify or CloudFront for React frontend hosting — KMS encryption for data in transit — All services configured under AWS BAA coverage — No RDS or persistent database required for clinical data 2. React frontend — Clean single-page application — Document upload UI (drag/drop, supports PDF and image files) — OCR text display with basic edit capability before analysis — Free-text question input (user asks Claude questions about the document) — Claude response display panel — Copy to clipboard button on all output — User login and profile page (name, email, facility) — Membership and billing settings page — Stripe monthly subscription integration 3. HIPAA compliance — Stateless architecture — no PHI persisted after session — HTTPS enforced on all endpoints — AWS BAA signed and covering all services — User BAA acknowledgment on signup — Audit logging for access events — Privacy policy and terms of service integration What we are NOT building in this phase: — Mobile app — EHR or PointClickCare integration — Stored intervention history or dashboard — Cost savings calculator — Admin panel — Anything beyond the three core features above: upload, analyze, copy output Ideal candidate: — 3+ years React and AWS experience — Prior HIPAA-eligible AWS builds — please describe your specific experience in your proposal — Hands-on experience with AWS Textract or comparable OCR pipelines — Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or direct LLM API integrations — Experience with stateless or ephemeral data processing architectures — Stripe subscription integration experience — Strong communicator — weekly video check-ins required — Available to start within 2-4 weeks Engagement details: — Estimated scope: 40–60 hours — Timeline: 8–10 weeks — Budget: $2,500–$4,500 USD fixed price preferred — Payment milestones: 25% upfront, 25% at working OCR pipeline, 25% at working Claude integration, 25% at launch — Communication: Weekly video check-in + async messaging How to apply: In your proposal please answer these four questions specifically: 1. Describe a HIPAA-eligible AWS application you have built — what services did you use and how did you handle PHI? 2. Have you implemented stateless or ephemeral document processing before? How did you approach it? 3. What is your experience with AWS Textract or other OCR pipelines? 4. How would you integrate AWS Bedrock or a Claude API call into a React frontend securely? Proposals that do not answer these four questions will not be considered. About us: We are an early-stage clinical SaaS platform founded by a Clinical Pharmacy Specialist. We are building a tool that genuinely improves patient care and safety in long-term care settings. We want a developer who takes pride in clean, secure, well-documented code and wants to be part of building something meaningful in healthcare. If that is you, we would love to hear from you.

We sell banknotes, coins, and postcards. We image thousands daily as we sell thousands daily. We currently write our own 40-60 word descriptions of these items using a CSV spreadsheet. We would like AI to write the descriptions! Looking for a widget/software/app/whatever that is PC based-has the ability for us to drag a folder of 1000 images into it and it spits out a spreadsheet of 2 columns. SKU (get into that later) and 40-60 word description. Example: 1952 France 5 Francs banknote or 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar by AI viewing the images of these items. A picture postcard of "visit Virginia" when viewed by AI will be Girl in white hat says visit Virginia" I'm told by a few folks it needs to have scripts to run it....that's not by forte. Yours is hopefully!

I am working on a system using AI to review and respond on Google Drive (Shared Drive) folders of PDF's. Using Gemini as a POC I get responses that sometimes reach outside of my specified folders of content, but sometimes, some PDF files are ignored too. Also, when the response to a prompt come back, the sources are linked. However, the links only bring up the first page of the PDF file wherein the linked source material is, AND NOT THE pdf PAGE of the specific info. I need to have the AI (Gemini, Grok, etc.,) be used to query just.... but all, of the PDF files, within a set of folders in Google Drive (Shared Drive), and to respond with linked content. Said links must open to the PDF PAGE, not just the PDF which houses the specific info. In short, I think I need a viewer, but someone who has experience working with AI and PDF's will likely know the issue I am running into. In the end my system will have a UI attached, so there is a lot of possible side work on this project. First I need to build a better POC. For instance, if I open ONE of the PDF files in Google Drive, I can prompt on that file, and the correct PDF page does come up in the viewer, (While no other files are considered for the queried content.) But when I give Gemini many source PDF's or a folder of PDF's, the links only go to the first page pf the PDF with the information used as the sourcwe.
