    Spotlight Scaling

    How I helped Uploader.io scale high-volume document processing with AWS-backed backend services and production-ready AI classification workflows.

    AI Document Infrastructure

    Uploader.io

    Uploader automates document workflows (ingestion → classification → extraction). The focus of my work was scaling backend throughput and reliability while integrating AI-powered classification into production pipelines.

    Impact Highlights

    • Architected and implemented scalable backend services on AWS for high-volume document processing
    • Designed and built a file ingestion engine capable of extracting structured data and classifying merged PDFs (e.g., IDs, CVs, supporting documents)
    • Scaled document processing capacity from ~40K to 100K+ documents per month
    • Led end-to-end AWS cloud infrastructure management (EC2, S3, IAM, autoscaling strategies)
    • Migrated the platform from single-server deployment to distributed service-based architecture, improving reliability and throughput
    • Integrated AI-powered document classification services into production workflows
