Smart Doc AI

AI-powered document intelligence platform for extracting, analyzing, and exporting structured data from PDFs using LLMs.

The Challenge

Modern enterprises spend thousands of hours manually processing invoices, receipts, and unstructured legal documents. Traditional OCR tools are highly brittle, relying on rigid spatial bounding boxes that fail immediately when a vendor changes their invoice layout. This results in high error rates, broken data pipelines, and necessitates constant human intervention to fix parsing errors.

The Solution Architecture

Built on a Next.js App Router foundation, the platform utilizes a serverless event-driven architecture. Document ingestion is handled via edge functions that immediately upload files to S3 and queue asynchronous LangChain pipelines via Redis. We implemented a sophisticated multi-model fallback strategy: GPT-4-Vision attempts the initial extraction, falling back to Claude 3 Sonnet on failure. Extracted payloads are strictly validated against Zod schemas. If validation fails, an automated retry loop executes with refined prompting before finally escalating to a human-in-the-loop review queue.

Key Features
  • Multi-model LLM orchestration with automatic failover routing
  • Deterministic JSON extraction with strict Zod schema validation
  • Human-in-the-loop (HITL) manual review interface for low-confidence scores
  • High-throughput asynchronous batch processing queue

Nexus AI Ops interface
Automation Systems
Web Application

Nexus AI Ops

AI-native operational intelligence platform featuring real-time analytics, AI copilots, and live telemetry.

The Challenge

Growing startups suffer from severe data fragmentation. Customer data lives in Zendesk, revenue in Stripe, and infrastructure metrics in AWS. Non-technical founders and product managers lack a unified view of operational health and cannot query this data without pulling engineering resources away from product development to write SQL or configure BI tools.

The Solution Architecture

The ingestion layer utilizes Python microservices running on AWS Lambda to pull webhook data from Stripe, GitHub, and Zendesk into a central Supabase PostgreSQL instance. The Next.js frontend fetches data using React Server Components for zero-bundle-size rendering of Tremor.so charts. The AI Copilot leverages a dual-agent system: a "Schema Agent" that uses pgvector to find the correct database tables/columns via semantic similarity, and a "Query Agent" that constructs and executes the SQL query.

Key Features
  • Natural language to SQL generation via dual-agent LLM architecture
  • Real-time, zero-latency dashboard visualizations using Tremor.so
  • Automated anomaly detection utilizing statistical isolation forests
  • Unified data ingestion webhooks for 10+ SaaS platforms

Web Application

AI Proposal Writer

Next.js application helping agencies create professional proposals utilizing the Gemini API and client-side PDF generation.

The Challenge

Freelance developers and boutique agencies waste unquantifiable hours writing custom proposals from scratch for every prospective client. This tedious manual process leads to inconsistent formatting, delayed responses to warm leads, and significant unbillable administrative overhead that chokes agency growth.

The Solution Architecture

The application is a purely client-centric Next.js build. We utilize Next.js Server Actions exclusively as a secure proxy to communicate with the Google Gemini API, protecting our API keys while ensuring no database persistence occurs on our servers. State management for the multi-step wizard is handled by Zustand with aggressive LocalStorage persistence. PDF generation is executed entirely within the browser using React-PDF, guaranteeing zero-trust data privacy for the end-user.

Key Features
  • Multi-step progressive disclosure wizard for complex data entry
  • Context-aware proposal generation powered by Google Gemini Pro
  • Client-side PDF compilation ensuring absolute data privacy
  • Aggressive local draft persistence preventing accidental data loss

Invoice Generator Pro

Smart, highly-performant client-side invoice generator with live WYSIWYG preview and PDF export.

The Challenge

Small businesses desperately need a fast way to generate professional invoices to get paid. However, the market forces them into subscribing to bloated, expensive accounting platforms (like QuickBooks) just to generate a simple PDF, simultaneously exposing their sensitive financial data to third-party servers.

The Solution Architecture

Developed as a Single Page Application (SPA) utilizing Vite for instant HMR and optimized bundling. The architecture is entirely decoupled from any backend. Complex mathematical state is managed via React useReducer hooks to ensure predictable updates across deeply nested line-item arrays. The PDF generation engine utilizes a hybrid approach: html2canvas captures the exact DOM layout of the preview pane, which is then injected into a jsPDF document instance, avoiding the layout inconsistencies of pure jsPDF rendering.

Key Features
  • Real-time WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) live preview rendering
  • Complex mathematical engine for cascading taxes, discounts, and shipping logic
  • 100% client-side execution ensuring zero server-side data leakage
  • High-resolution, pixel-perfect PDF document export

Desktop Applications
Desktop Application

Image Toolkit Pro

Advanced desktop image processing toolkit built with Python and OpenCV featuring live detection and batch processing.

The Challenge

Researchers frequently need to test computer vision pipelines (like Haar cascades, Canny edge detection, or morphological transformations). Doing this requires writing and debugging disposable Python scripts for every iteration. Consumer editors like Photoshop completely lack these programmatic, scientific-grade computer vision algorithms.

The Solution Architecture

Built purely in Python, the architecture enforces strict separation of concerns. The presentation layer utilizes Tkinter for a lightweight, dependency-free cross-platform GUI. The core processing engine leverages OpenCV and NumPy for C-level mathematical performance. To solve the GIL blocking issue, the application implements a robust multithreaded architecture using the `concurrent.futures` module. Image processing tasks are offloaded to daemon threads, communicating back to the main GUI thread via thread-safe queues to update progress bars without locking the interface.

Key Features
  • Live webcam analytics featuring real-time Haar Cascade object detection pipelines
  • Asynchronous, multithreaded batch processing for thousands of high-res images
  • Interactive visual parameter tuning for advanced OpenCV algorithms
  • Granular filtering, thresholding, and morphological transformation tools

Advanced Video QA System

End-to-end RAG desktop pipeline allowing users to chat with local video files using LLMs, vector search, and precise timestamp navigation.

The Challenge

Extracting specific information from multi-hour video content (like university lectures, corporate town halls, or legal depositions) requires tedious manual scrubbing. This results in massive losses in productivity and makes video a highly inefficient medium for rapid knowledge retrieval.

The Solution Architecture

The application is built on PyQt6 for a highly responsive, native desktop experience. The ingestion pipeline utilizes FFmpeg to strip audio, which is processed by OpenAI Whisper to generate timestamped transcripts. We built a custom LangChain document loader that preserves temporal metadata (start/end seconds) within the Document objects. These are embedded using OpenAI ADA-002 and stored in a local FAISS vector database. During querying, the LLM synthesizes an answer and strictly returns the temporal metadata, which the PyQt frontend uses to instantly seek the embedded video player to the exact relevant frame.

Key Features
  • Automated, high-accuracy audio extraction and Whisper transcription
  • Temporal-aware semantic chunking and local FAISS vector storage
  • Context-aware conversational querying utilizing GPT-4
  • Instant GUI-to-Video timestamp seek functionality
