Staff software engineer specializing in scalable, cloud-native full-stack systems.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years building scalable, high-performance web applications, distributed systems, and SaaS platforms across healthcare startups and large consumer services. I design end-to-end solutions—user interfaces, backend services, and cloud-native platforms—delivering real-time, event-driven systems with strong observability and operational reliability.
I have owned HIPAA-compliant notification platforms (Kafka + WebSocket), led microservice migrations, and reduced MTTR and operational friction through Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and CI/CD improvements. I mentor engineers, run post-incident reviews, and consistently deliver resilient payment, scheduling, and telehealth integrations that improve user outcomes and system reliability.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments

WHDeveloped clinician and patient portals (Next.js, TypeScript) with real-time EHR sync and built concurrency-safe backend services that reduced scheduling errors ~40% and optimized data stores to eliminate OLTP contention.
AIBuilt resilient payment integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Adyen) with retries and idempotency reducing duplicate charges ~30% and architected search and caching infrastructure to enable sub-second queries under high traffic.
AIImplemented transaction-safe booking services with concurrency controls and async worker patterns and automated reconciliation pipelines (Kafka/SQS → Airflow → Snowflake/Redshift) for financial and logistics data.
