About this gig

I turn technical documents into clean structured data: vendor datasheets, equipment specs, CAD drawings, BOMs, title blocks, schedules.


I'm an engineer (BSE, Case Western Reserve) who co-founded a solar design automation company, and I built exactly this for it: a production importer that reads manufacturer PDF datasheets into an equipment database, BOM extraction from CAD drawings, and title-block automation across sheet sets. I read these documents the way your engineers do, which is why the output is usable, not just tabulated.


What you get: your fields in your format (Excel template, database rows, JSON, or an API), honest handling of ambiguity (values the parser can't confirm are flagged for review, never silently guessed; wrong data is worse than missing data), and the pipeline itself, not a one-time conversion: re-run it on next month's documents yourself.


How it works: send 3 to 5 sample documents and the output format you want. I confirm feasibility and exact fields before you order, build against your samples, then prove it on a batch you hold back.

I build complex CAD automation systems, not just scripts. My work spans production AutoCAD plugins in C# .NET and AutoLISP, natural-language CAD tooling, web control planes, cloud CAD execution, and ML-backed solar design automation. I have built custom commands, palettes, drawing generators, batch processors, equipment databases, string-sizing tools, and layout engines. I use my own build-and-test automation to ship reliable tools in days, with source code, installers, and support for AutoCAD 2018-2026.
