As part of my end-of-studies internship at AXE Finance, I designed and developed a full-stack intelligent system to automate the validation of financial document a process traditionally done manually and prone to error. The solution leveraged OCR, NLP, and AI techniques to extract and analyze data from complex PDFs and ensure consistency with database records in real time. I built a dynamic Flask web application that seamlessly integrated with SQL Server via stored procedures and RDL (Report Definition Language) parsing, enabling financial analysts to instantly detect formatting issues and discrepancies across reports.
