What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build secure, compliant microservices and event-driven workflows in Java and cloud platforms, with strong observability and CI/CD ownership—especially for healthcare or similarly regulated domains.

I’m a Senior Java Full Stack Developer with 7+ years of experience building secure healthcare, insurance, and retail platforms. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Kafka, AWS, Kubernetes, and healthcare standards like FHIR/HL7, with HIPAA/HITRUST aligned services.

I focus on modernization with measurable impact—re-architecting monoliths into independently deployable microservices, and improving maintainability and release flexibility. I’ve delivered healthcare interoperability capabilities at scale, enabling secure exchange of member, provider, eligibility, and claims data.

On the backend, I design resilient, event-driven systems using Kafka workflows with Avro, Schema Registry, retry topics, DLQs, and idempotent consumers. I also enforce security and compliance using TLS, AWS KMS, Secrets Manager, PHI masking, secure logging, and least privilege IAM.

From delivery to reliability, I automate CI/CD quality gates and build observability into production microservices using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana. I partner with architecture, product, security, QA, and DevOps teams to translate FHIR, HL7, HIPAA, and HITRUST requirements into real-world capabilities.
