About Daniel

I help companies automate financial document workflows and eliminate manual validation errors.

I design deterministic data automation systems for invoice processing, VAT verification, and financial reconciliation. My focus is on building structured, explainable solutions that detect inconsistencies, validate totals against line items, and generate audit-ready reports.

With a background in mathematics and experience in regulated financial environments, I prioritize accuracy, traceability, and data integrity over black-box automation.

Typical projects include:

• Invoice extraction and normalization (PDF to structured data)
• VAT and total reconciliation logic
• Cross-field financial validation checks
• ETL workflows for recurring financial datasets
• Automated Excel or database reporting

Tech stack: Python, SQL, PostgreSQL, structured ETL pipelines.

I work remotely across Europe and deliver reliable, production-ready automation systems tailored to your workflow.
