Automation

Media Processing Windows Service

.NET Developer

This project is relevant for clients who need background processing or automation around files and media.

Overview

This project was a .NET Framework Windows Service for automating server-side image/video handling and publishing workflows across web properties.

The goal was to reduce manual deployment work, make file handling more consistent, and provide better visibility into media processing status.

What The System Needed

The system needed to support IO-heavy media workflows:

The main challenge was making background file processing reliable enough that teams did not need to manually fix every failed upload or deployment.

  • File ingestion from staging or upload locations
  • Validation of media files
  • Image/video processing steps
  • Publishing to web environments
  • SQL Server-backed job/status tracking
  • Retry behavior for failed jobs
  • Logging and operational visibility
  • IIS/Windows Server deployment support
  • Support for mixed ASP.NET, WordPress, and static web properties

My Backend Work

I built a Windows Service using C# and .NET Framework to automate media processing and publishing workflows. The service handled file movement, validation, transformations, retries, status tracking, and publishing.

Key work included:

  • Windows Service implementation
  • File ingestion and validation
  • Image/video processing workflow support
  • Retry and failure tracking
  • SQL Server/T-SQL job persistence
  • Publishing to web environments
  • Operational logging
  • IIS and Windows Server support
  • Support for ASP.NET, WordPress, and static sites

Technical Highlights

  • Backend stack: C#, .NET Framework, Windows Service
  • Data: SQL Server, T-SQL, job/status tracking
  • Processing: file ingestion, validation, transforms, retries
  • Infrastructure: Windows Server, IIS, web publishing
  • Operations: logging, failure tracking, deployment support

Why This Project Is Relevant

This project is relevant for clients who need background processing or automation around files and media.

It is useful for clients who need:

It shows experience building backend automation where reliability, file IO, and operational support matter more than UI polish.

  • Windows Services
  • Background workers
  • File-processing pipelines
  • Legacy .NET automation
  • Media handling workflows
  • SQL Server job tracking
  • Retry/failure handling
  • IIS/Windows Server support
