Converted unstructured data from NetSuite notes to delivery slip PDFs. Does it make sense? Fair, doesnt make sense to me either. Every customers order carried a note section with how that order should be manufactured like "offcut this this this size", and manufacturer wanted a solution for converting the notes to delivery slips. Also, this is by far the most unfun project I have ever been in. Way too much regex. Please dont come to me with unstructured data again. I would like to do DevOps contracts instead.
