About
I’m Omar Soliman — a tax professional who works in indirect tax and builds AI tools that read regulation so people don’t have to.
Everything here is written in a personal capacity — views are mine, not my employer’s. I’m at PwC.

Where the habit started — a spreadsheet that ran salaries and taxes by itself.
The rule of thumb — if a machine can read the form, it should do the reading.
Advisory
You send me a question in AI or technology. I send back the best solution I can find — and a working prototype to prove it out. Send it over.
Building
A small script built with real field knowledge can beat a hundred developers and a huge software suite. The code is the supporting act; getting you the answer faster is the point. Curious whether something like this fits your team? Email me.
Writing
Writing about what today’s tools can do for tax — and where they could take us. The point is to help, and to flag what you didn’t know you were missing. Read it before you need it.
