Neptune Payroll Platform
An internal payroll platform for the Tax & GES department. I built AI document extraction with Azure Document Intelligence that reads payroll documents and cut manual data entry by 60%. I also lead development of the web application and maintain it in production; the platform reduced payroll processing time by 35%.
Internal tool: no public link or screenshots. This case study stays high level, with no internal architecture or client data.

The problem
Payroll processing involved manual steps, including re-keying data from payroll documents by hand. That takes time and leaves room for error in work where accuracy matters.
Outcomes
- less manual data entry with the AI document extraction I built
- 60%
- reduction in payroll processing time (platform outcome)
- 35%
- faster Largest Contentful Paint
- 25%
What I built
- AI document extraction
- Payroll documents are read by Azure Document Intelligence, and the extracted data appears in the application, replacing manual data entry.
- Backend integration
- The Next.js application integrates with Node.js/Express and ASP.NET APIs. I work with backend engineers on API contracts, data flow and error handling.
- Performance
- Improved load performance by 25% (Largest Contentful Paint) through server-side rendering, caching, code splitting and lazy loading.
- Accessibility
- Led accessibility improvements to bring key interfaces in line with WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
Technical decisions
- 01
Automate the slowest manual step
Extracting data from documents automatically, instead of re-keying it, removed most of the manual entry from the workflow.
