What I'm looking for

I seek a senior technical leadership role building cloud-native, secure, and scalable platforms where I can drive architecture, mentor engineers, and deliver impactful AI/healthcare integrations.

I am a Lead Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and scaling SaaS and platform systems across healthcare, AI, and enterprise domains. I focus on cloud-native microservices, system architecture, and secure, standards-compliant integrations such as FHIR/EHR.

I have led re-architecture efforts, built Generative AI–driven workflows (OpenAI Whisper, GPT-4) for clinical documentation, and delivered EHR integration modules for platforms like athenahealth and eClinicalWorks. As a founding engineer, I designed multi-region AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and developer SDKs to support PaaS/SaaS products.

I am a hands-on technical leader who mentors engineers, drives architecture and execution, and collaborates closely with product and domain stakeholders to deliver scalable, maintainable, and secure solutions end-to-end.
