Python Desktop Automation Developer

Self employed / Freelance • Freelance

Jan 2019 - Present • 7 yrs 9 mos

Built desktop tools for office automation across 5+ years of Python development. KEY PROJECTS - Invoice batch extractor: drag-and-drop a folder of PDFs, get a clean Excel summary with invoice numbers, dates, totals, tax, and line items. Configurable YAML rules + regex handle messy real-world invoices. OCR fallback via Tesseract for scanned PDFs. - Excel report automation: multi-sheet merge, data cleaning, weekly/monthly reports with auto-emailing. - Legacy desktop software bridging: AutoHotkey + Python for ERP systems, terminals, and old apps without APIs — work that most Python developers cannot deliver because they lack AutoHotkey skills. - Course scheduling desktop app: Vue 3 + pywebview, used by 100+ students, ships as single .exe. WHAT I DELIVER - Polished .exe with real drag-and-drop UI — not a bare script - 60-second demo video + one-page user guide for non-technical staff - 30 days free bug-fix maintenance - AutoHotkey is rare on Fiverr — clients with legacy desktop apps come to me specifically
