Quest Submissions: automating insurance submissions

Underwriters were turning PDF and Excel submissions into structured data by hand. I helped build the platform that does it in minutes.

The problem

Insurance submissions arrive as a mix of PDFs and spreadsheets. Before underwriters could clear a submission, someone had to read the documents and re-enter the data. A single submission could take hours.

What I built

  1. PDF / Excel upload
  2. Java API extraction
  3. Structured data
  4. Schema-driven review UI
  5. Clearance workflow

Simplified pipeline.

  1. New
  2. In Progress
  3. Blocked
  4. Ready for Review
  5. Declined

Workflow states every submission moves through.

Results

This was client work under NDA. Diagrams are simplified redraws, and no client data or screenshots are shown.
