What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles designing scalable cloud platforms in healthcare, leading teams, and applying ML to real-world data while prioritizing security, interoperability, and mentorship.

I am a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade building secure, scalable cloud applications and real-time data pipelines, particularly within healthcare domains. I combine backend, frontend and applied machine learning experience to deliver end-to-end solutions.

At Google, I architected distributed microservices on GCP, integrated Vertex AI for generative patient-facing tools, and implemented RBAC and OAuth 2.0 controls to meet HIPAA and FHIR requirements. My work reduced ingestion latency and improved interoperability across health-data systems.

Previously at Amazon I built event-driven microservices and AI-assisted analytics pipelines on AWS, automating clinical triage and improving throughput and reliability. I drove IaC adoption with Terraform modules and increased test coverage through modern testing frameworks.

I mentor engineers, lead cross-organizational initiatives, and advocate for best practices in cloud, DevOps and data engineering. I seek roles where I can architect resilient systems, guide teams, and apply ML-driven insights to meaningful healthcare problems.
