About Akshay PADMANABHAN

AI & Workflow Automation Engineer | Founder, WorkZero | n8n · Claude API · OCR · Python | I turn manual back-office work — invoices, documents, legacy data — into automated pipelines

I build automation systems that remove manual work from business operations — the invoices someone keys in by hand, the legacy data with no export path, the documents that need to become clean spreadsheets before real work can start. Through WorkZero, my automation practice, I've shipped production systems for clients in the UAE and Europe: → Automated 1,000+ scanned invoice pages per month into VAT-ready Excel for a Dubai accounting consultancy — phone photos, stamped delivery notes, low-res scans included. Days of data entry now run in minutes. (Google Cloud Vision OCR + Claude AI + validation layer + n8n) → Migrated 10,000 rows and 900 images out of a legacy CRM with no export function for a Swiss real estate firm, matched every image to its listing, and delivered import-ready files for their new CRM. Zero manual entry on their side. → Built WhatsApp-based expense capture: snap a receipt, and OCR + AI extraction lands a validated row in the client's books — no new app to learn. I'm also building a SaaS product for UAE corporate tax compliance — trial balance ingestion, automated rule checks, and cited compliance reports — which keeps me hands-on with full product development, not just workflows. How I work: I care about the unglamorous parts — validation layers, edge cases, data that arrives messy. Automation only earns trust when it's right every time, so I build for the invoice photographed in bad light, not the clean PDF in the demo. Stack: n8n, Python, Claude API, OpenAI API, Google Cloud Vision OCR, REST APIs, Excel/data pipelines, JavaScript, WhatsApp Business API. I take on automation projects through WorkZero and I'm equally at home embedded in a team solving process and data problems at scale. Either way — if your operation still involves re-keying documents or moving data between systems that don't talk to each other, that's exactly what I fix. 📩 Message me here, or book a free workflow audit at workzero.tech

  • 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐎𝐟 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Today, as I walk across the stage with my MSc in International Business from EMLV - École de Management Léonard de Vinci Business School, I carry more than just a degree — I carry a story of resilience. When I came to France, it wasn’t just for studies. I was leaving behind a phase of heartbreak and emotional exhaustion. It was one of the toughest chapters of my life. But sometimes, life’s turning points are wrapped in pain. France was my reset button. I found strength in solitude. To everyone who supported me — from friends to family. You were part of this transformation. This degree is not just an academic achievement —i think it as a personal evolution. #emlv #msc #masters #paris #career #dataanalysis #success

  • Every year, tourists leave millions in unclaimed VAT refunds at European airports. Not because the money isn't theirs. Because the process assumes you already know how it works. I am building VATBack -a web app that helps non-EU tourists in France check if their purchases qualify for a VAT refund and get prepared before the airport. The idea came out of the Travel x AI Build Night with Lovable and Jinko in Paris — thank you Satvik Puti for hosting, and Sebastien Texier and Kevin Gauthier from the Jinko team for the platform and the push. The response in the room confirmed it: almost nobody knows this system exists. The typical failure: a visitor shops in Paris, learns about tax-free shopping on day four - wrong paperwork, flight in 36 hours. Most people give up. VATBack guides you through eligibility, what to ask for in-store, and departure day. Caveat: eligibility and refund amounts depend on the country, merchant, and rules. VATBack prepares you .

  • I started an AI automation agency. My sister works at an auditing firm in the UAE, and one day she shared a problem her team kept running into - hours lost to manual document work. That is when it clicked, and I started building. The result is WorkZero. Right now, we are focused on document automation - turning scanned invoices and PDFs straight into structured Excel, no re-typing in between. But that's just the starting point: WorkZero builds automation of all kinds, wherever a manual, repetitive process is slowing a team down. It is the start of something I care a lot about. If your team is still doing by hand what should be automated, my inbox is open. workzero.tech #AIAutomation #Entrepreneurship #WorkflowAutomation #UAE #Auding #VAT #AI #new
