Document Management Dashboard

A document upload and notification application built as a task assigned during an SWS AI interview round.

01 / CONTEXT

The problem

A document workflow needs to accept PDF uploads, persist document metadata, and communicate upload progress and notification state to the user.

02 / DIRECTION

The approach

Implement a Node/Express backend for single and multiple PDF uploads, persist metadata in PostgreSQL, and use Socket.IO events to report progress and completion to connected clients.
