Principal Software Engineer at Empower Pharmacy architecting HIPAA-compliant microservices across nine bounded contexts.

Message

At Empower Pharmacy, I’m architecting event-driven, HIPAA-compliant microservices across nine bounded contexts using a saga pattern on Azure. I’m building integrations with Java Spring Boot, Azure Service Bus, and Kafka as the pharmacy platform scales.

At Safeway, I architected a real-time health personalization platform processing 10 TB of data for 1.8M users, including a Java SpEL rules engine that let product owners manage recommendations without code deployments. Previously, I owned a Java Spring Boot content API at Amazon Pharmacy that sustained 5,700 requests per second, and led architecture and delivery for JPMorgan Chase’s fee-billing suite processing 44M records per month.
