What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, compliant, high-availability cloud platforms where I can lead infrastructure automation, CI/CD, Kubernetes or serverless operations, and scalable microservice delivery.

I've built and operated HIPAA-, PCI DSS-, and GDPR-compliant cloud platforms for healthcare and SaaS products, including InsightCare, ICEHR, efit.health, and MemberSolutions. At VST, I run 14 healthcare microservices on ECS Fargate and integrate clinical systems with Mirth Connect over secure VPN connectivity.

Across Contour Software, Thinkz Solutions, and Dunify, I've delivered serverless, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud systems using AWS, Azure, OCI, Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps. I focus on secure infrastructure, reliable CI/CD, container orchestration, and high-availability production operations.
