Senior software engineer building HIPAA-compliant, cloud-native healthcare platforms on AWS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years’ experience at Amazon, delivering scalable, HIPAA-compliant healthcare systems on AWS for telehealth, AI-driven patient workflows, and real-time care coordination.
I led end-to-end development of distributed platforms integrating EHR (1Life) event-driven architectures and AI/ML services, improving patient engagement by 15% and reducing scheduling conflicts by 30%.
In my most recent role, I redesigned secure telehealth capabilities—real-time video consultations and asynchronous patient messaging—using Amazon Connect, WebRTC, and AWS API Gateway, and integrated AI-driven patient insights via Amazon Bedrock / HealthScribe.
I also built unified appointment management across virtual and in-person care using FHIR-based APIs, plus compliant billing workflows with Step Functions, Lambda, and API Gateway. I prioritize secure, observable systems—OAuth2/OIDC, AWS IAM/Cognito, CloudTrail audit logging, and KMS encryption—while mentoring engineers to deliver dependable healthcare software.
