01 · The problem

The Context

National budget data in Bangladesh is traditionally locked inside thousands of pages of unsearchable, dry government PDFs, obscuring public fund distribution.

This friction creates a significant gap between public policy declarations and a citizen's ability to verify actual expenditures.

02 · What I built

What I built

  • Automated scrapers. Created a Python scraping system to ingest, parse, and structure tabular PDF data from ministries into clean relational databases.
  • Bilingual RAG assistant. Deployed a Next.js interface featuring a queryable LLM assistant that translates plain-language Bangla and English questions into exact cited budget columns.
  • Public audit tools. Enabled quick search tables mapping historical budget trends to support transparent civic reporting.
