Why it exists
Device integration starts with specifications that can be lengthy, inconsistent, or difficult to search. Turning that material into structured information makes subsequent engineering work easier to organize.
Portfolio / CASE STUDY
Public prototype
Specification Parser.
A Python tool for parsing and normalizing POCT1 specifications, with a CLI for device onboarding and versioned updates.
MY ROLE
Document processing and integration tooling
What I built
The public project documents specification parsing and normalization, Tesseract OCR, and a device-lifecycle command line. JSON configuration files support onboarding, updates, version tracking, and review of unrecognized messages.

Engineering decisions
Configuration that can be reviewed
JSON inputs make onboarding and update parameters inspectable and repeatable, with explicit command-line overrides.
Track change rather than overwrite it
Device and specification versions are part of the workflow. Unrecognized messages have a documented review step instead of being silently accepted.
Retrieve with context attached
The retrieval layer combines FAISS semantic search and BM25 keyword search through weighted reciprocal rank fusion. Citation identities and source metadata remain attached to results.
Capabilities in practice
- Healthcare protocol knowledge
- Python tooling
- Document normalization
- CLI workflow design
- Applied retrieval research
Status & scope
A development prototype pairing automated specification extraction with explicit engineering review. The publicly shared repository is available for inspection.
