Over the past 3–4 years, I’ve led and single-handedly developed a robust data transformation pipeline that generates fully accessible letters. Leveraging Microsoft Azure’s AI suite—including Document Intelligence for PDF parsing and Azure OpenAI for generative content—I built an end-to-end solution that meets strict PCI compliance. By collaborating closely with technical contacts at Microsoft, I navigated security requirements to safely integrate advanced AI services. This partnership generated internal excitement at Microsoft and evolved into a published case study (Microsoft Customer Story: RNIB Azure AI Services). Building on that success, I now maintain a strong relationship with our Microsoft partner and Microsoft Tech for Social Impact—speaking at events, sharing best practices, and advising nonprofit peers on AI adoption.",

To address this, RNIB partnered with Microsoft to build a new “Mailings” solution on Azure AI services. Leveraging Azure’s Document Intelligence to parse and extract content from PDFs, combined with Azure OpenAI to generate the required accessible formats, the system automates the end-to-end transformation process. As a result, RNIB slashed the time to convert documents from days to minutes, dramatically increasing scalability and consistency across the UK. This innovative use of AI not only filled a critical accessibility gap but also earned RNIB a featured Microsoft Customer Story, highlighting the successful integration of cutting-edge Azure AI within a nonprofit context."
