David Skinner

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and scaling backend platforms across healthcare and finance. I deliver cloud-native architectures, real-time APIs, and production AI solutions with strong emphasis on security and compliance.

At Oscar Health I launched a GPT-4 powered Clinical Intake Bot to production, architected AWS EKS microservices with FHIR integration, and operated real-time APIs serving millions of requests with sub-second latency. I also deployed ML models via SageMaker and improved observability and incident response through Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog.

Previously at Capital One I built REST APIs and microservices (Java, Node.js) as part of an enterprise cloud-first migration, implemented Kafka event streaming for fraud detection, and strengthened cloud security and CI/CD practices. I have a strong track record of improving performance, reliability, and deployment velocity.

I mentor engineers, drive cross-functional initiatives, and establish platform best practices adopted organization-wide. I seek roles where I can combine technical leadership, system design, and secure AI/ML delivery to create measurable impact.
