What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building compliant, cloud-native systems in regulated domains where I can lead architecture, integrate AI/ML, optimize reliability, and mentor engineers.

I am a Staff Software Engineer who architects resilient, compliant systems for regulated industries, combining cloud-native backends, AI/ML integration, and event-driven design to deliver scalable, secure services. I drive iterative, collaborative development and elevate technical standards through mentorship and clear API and deployment patterns.

My work includes designing HIPAA-compliant data pipelines, implementing LLM-backed patient triage with human fallback, and building high-throughput appointment and provider availability services on AWS with 99.99% availability and significant latency reductions.
