Senior software engineer specializing in scalable cloud-native systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience designing and delivering cloud-native, service-oriented systems for defense and healthcare. I have led cross-functional teams, modernized legacy simulation platforms to Kubernetes-based architectures, and built scalable telehealth and mission management applications using modern web stacks and AWS/Azure.
My work emphasizes reliability, security, and performance: I architect microservices, implement OAuth2 and HIPAA-compliant solutions, integrate event-driven systems with Kafka and gRPC, and optimize front-end and video performance. I mentor engineers, drive best practices, and deliver data-driven reporting and geospatial visualization solutions for high-impact customers.
