Docuseal

Permanent PDF redaction at the coordinate level.

Role
Feature engineer at Cybros.Dev — open-source contribution

Overview

Engineered a permanent text-redaction feature for a major open-source document platform. Redaction that only hides pixels is not redaction, so the implementation works at the PDF coordinate level and removes the underlying text rather than covering it.

What I built

  1. Built permanent text redaction operating on PDF coordinates
  2. Removed underlying text rather than masking it visually
  3. Shipped further features and UI changes into a major open-source codebase
  4. Built DocWizard, a new Rails application on Fabric.js and PostgreSQL
