# Shenouda & Associates, LLP — 2025–Present

Edward is currently engaged with Shenouda & Associates, LLP, a Huntington Beach accounting and tax firm, contracted through Proticom. He built a local agent for client tax and accounting documents that runs entirely on the firm's own machines; files stay local and are never uploaded to the cloud.

The agent performs document extraction and categorization on a privacy-first local model stack. It cut manual document handling by approximately 80%. This is Edward's proof point for training small models for a specific task rather than relying on general-purpose cloud models, and it demonstrates his local and private model deployment work in a real client setting.
