About
Python backend engineer focused on high-throughput document/PDF processing systems, building end-to-end pipelines that extract structured content for downstream NLP use cases. Demonstrates strong practical MLOps-adjacent infrastructure skills: Kubernetes deployments, GitLab CI, GitOps workflows, and an incremental migration to AWS using EC2/Lambda tradeoffs. Deep hands-on optimization experience (selective OCR, layout-aware extraction, parallelism, caching, idempotency, and backpressure/autoscaling).

Key Strengths
End-to-end ownership of PDF processing backend and REST API layer
Improved parsing accuracy via selective OCR (text-layer detection) and layout-aware extraction
Reduced latency using per-page parallelism with worker pools and caching for reprocessing
Built automated tests and improved CI/CD for more reliable releases
Production Kubernetes deployment experience (resource tuning, health checks, rolling updates, debugging memory pressure)
Incremental AWS migration strategy with component decoupling and parallel run validation
Designed idempotent, resilient queue-based processing (deterministic IDs, page-level checkpointing) and managed backpressure with autoscaling/concurrency tuning
Applied GitOps workflow with manifests in Git and PR-based deployment changes
