Video to Report
Video to Report helps site inspectors, technical engineers, and technical controllers generate compliance-report drafts directly from site videos. Before this workflow, teams visited sites, took manual notes, returned to the office, and wrote reports from scratch. I built the system end to end as a solo engineer: backend, AI pipeline, prompt modeling, report templates, frontend, deployment, and production operations. The pipeline segments each uploaded video, sends segments to a VLM, extracts key moments and screenshots, then compiles everything into a structured report draft ready for office review.

02 / Constraints
Problem
- Analyzing long construction videos (up to ~30 minutes) with enough detail
- Extracting reliable report-relevant observations from unstructured video
- Keeping output quality consistent across variable site recording conditions
- Designing report templates immediately usable by technical teams
03 / System
Architecture / workflow
- End-to-end flow: record video -> upload -> segment -> VLM analysis -> report draft compilation
- VLM-based extraction of important moments with contextual screenshot references
- Structured compliance-report template generation for office review
- Built and operated solo from exploration to MVP and production
04 / Evidence
Results / impact
- 300+ hours of video analyzed
- ~3 hours saved on report drafting per project
- Faster transition from site visit to compliance-report draft
- Improved consistency in reporting workflows
