Erik Volk

Fully remote, asynchronous, deadline-based work: part-time, contract or project roles where I process, review or convert documents against clear standards and work independently. Document review, data entry and validation, PDF-to-spreadsheet conversion, OCR cleanup, loan-file review and SOP writing all fit. Texas-based, U.S. citizen, no relocation or travel. I turn messy documents into clean, usable data. For the last six years I have processed financial applications and loan files for two federal agencies, where accuracy is audited: 3,300+ eligibility determinations and daily file reviews at better than 99% on quality review, and 25,000+ applications processed during the 2020–2022 disaster-loan surge. What I deliver: scanned PDFs, forms and statements converted into clean spreadsheets with every field checked against the source; document sets indexed, tagged, deduplicated and OCR-cleaned with a searchable page-level index; data cleanup and reconciliation against a second source, with mismatches flagged; and standard operating procedures and training materials written from your actual workflow, not a template. How I work: clear scope, a sample delivered before the full run on any large job, and a written QA log with every delivery. I built my own OCR, deduplication and document-indexing tooling for 500-page scanned files, so volume is not a problem; the human time goes into checking, not retyping. Background: U.S. Army officer (2012–2017), West Point economics graduate, former mortgage banker, and currently a federal loan specialist with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Texas-based, U.S. citizen, fully remote, and available for asynchronous, deadline-based work.
