Senior software engineer building voice AI and clinical platforms with strong backend and full-stack execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer who builds reliable systems around voice AI and clinical workflows—turning complex call, transcription, and evaluation needs into scalable production services. At MedWatchers, I built and now maintain the Outreach REST API (FastAPI, PostgreSQL) that processes around 800K requests a day on EKS and I own it through implementation, testing, and production monitoring.
I design and run voice AI agents for outbound calls to pharmacies, processing about 100K calls per month with over 80 percent resolved without human involvement. I also built an LLM-based pipeline (Whisper, Claude Sonnet on AWS Bedrock) that analyzes around 1000 calls per day, reducing QA staffing and saving around $180K annually.
Outside of work, I also build side projects, ranging from CLI tools (https://frank-chris.github.io/burrow) to party games (https://zero-in-now.vercel.app, made with NextJS and Supabase).
