What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in software engineering to drive impactful solutions in a dynamic environment.

As a Staff Software Engineer at Tempus, I have led the backend architecture for a cloud-native healthcare documentation system, significantly improving clinician efficiency and patient data transfer. My expertise in Python, FastAPI, and AWS services has enabled me to design and deploy real-time transcription pipelines, enhancing patient care through low-latency communication.

In my previous role at Stripe, I designed scalable backend systems for payment processing, implementing GraphQL and RESTful APIs that streamlined integration for financial services. My commitment to optimizing performance and enhancing user experience has consistently resulted in improved engagement and satisfaction across various platforms.
