Joel Van Der Hoeven

AI Automation Engineer specialized in turning complex operational processes into reliable, production-ready systems.

I design and build AI-driven automations that replace manual work with predictable, scalable workflows. My focus is not on demos or experiments, but on systems that run daily without breaking, even when data is messy or requirements change. I have built end-to-end invoice and document processing pipelines reaching approximately 99% extraction accuracy, Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems for large document collections, and AI-powered integrations between email, CRM systems, APIs, and internal dashboards. These solutions eliminate manual data entry, improve data consistency, and give non-technical teams clear visibility and control over their processes.

Clients value my ability to translate vague operational needs into clear technical solutions, with strong attention to data validation, error handling, and long-term maintainability. I work in a structured way, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and design systems that are easy to maintain, extend, and explain. I typically work with companies looking to reduce operational overhead, automate document-heavy or data-intensive workflows, and integrate AI into existing systems without disrupting daily operations.

If you are looking for someone who can design, build, and think along with your business rather than simply execute instructions, I am happy to explore how AI automation can support your processes.
