About this Gig

Messy documents are not useful data until the information inside them is extracted, structured and checked properly.

I help organisations, researchers and project teams turn PDFs, scanned documents and structured forms into reliable Excel, CSV or Google Sheets data using OCR, automation and human validation.

I can help with:

  • PDF and scanned-document data extraction
  • OCR processing
  • Excel, CSV and Google Sheets output
  • field mapping and structured datasets
  • formatting and data cleanup
  • validation and consistency checks
  • exception and uncertainty flagging
  • multiple document layouts
  • data-source connectivity
  • API integration and reusable workflows

I am a Senior Digital Systems and Data Consultant with 25+ years of experience in databases, field-data systems, GIS, information workflows and operational technology.

My approach is not to silently guess uncertain values or deliver unchecked OCR output. I preserve traceability, identify exceptions and structure the result so it can actually be used for reporting, analysis or integration into another system.

Please message me before ordering large volumes, poor-quality scans, handwritten documents or highly variable layouts.
