About
I’m Subhajit. I help companies turn messy documents, business data, and internal paperwork into structured, usable information.
Most of my work is around document automation, OCR, and data extraction. I build systems that process scanned PDFs, invoices, lab reports, contracts, and email attachments — the kind of documents where standard tools often fail because the layouts keep changing.
I usually start by understanding your business process first: what documents come in, what data matters, where errors happen, who reviews the result, and where the final output needs to go. After that, I design a solution that’s realistic for your budget, data quality, and timeline.
How I work#
I start with the simplest approach and iterate from there. Over-engineering is the most common failure mode in document processing — reaching for LLMs when regex would do, or building custom infrastructure when a single API call covers it.
My pipeline development follows the same sequence every time:
Define the schema first. If I can’t describe what clean output looks like, extraction will always be unreliable.
Establish a baseline with rules. A deterministic check tells me exactly where the hard cases are before introducing any probabilistic tool.
Introduce LLMs incrementally. If a simpler rule-based approach gets you 90% of the way, I’ll say so — and we skip the LLM.
Apply layout detection last. Only where variation genuinely requires it.
If something can be done with a simpler approach, I will tell you. If an AI model is useful, I’ll explain where it helps, where it may fail, and how we validate the results before using them in a real business process.
What I do#
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 — the things that break simpler solutions once you’re in production.
System Integration & Ongoing Support. I connect extraction pipelines to downstream systems: Excel, databases, APIs, internal tools. Retainer support is available as your document types change.
IDP Diagnostic & Action Plan. If your document pipeline is failing, I audit your current approach, identify the failure points, and deliver a written action plan with execution steps. Fixed price.
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 — 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
