What I'm looking for

I seek a technical leadership role building scalable, data-driven health‑tech solutions with strong emphasis on data quality, ML insights, and mentorship in an agile, impact-focused team.

I am a driven Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building cloud-native, distributed systems and data engineering solutions for health‑tech organizations. I have led architecture and implementation of centralized data warehouses and scalable ELT pipelines that materially improved reporting speed and data accuracy.

My work includes developing machine learning models for clinical forecasting, redesigning EMR platforms to improve data capture, and building secure APIs for seamless data exchange with national health systems. I have experience across full‑stack development, database architecture and performance tuning, and infrastructure automation.

I provide technical leadership and mentorship, foster agile practices, and prioritize data quality, security and compliance to deliver actionable insights and high‑performance systems that support health outcomes.
