Senior Backend Engineer passionate about building high-performance systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Backend Engineer with extensive experience in building high-performance, distributed systems. My journey has taken me from Apple to Included Health and Rad Partners, where I have tackled complex challenges ranging from real-time data pipelines to AI-driven features. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy collaborating with great teams to solve hard problems.
At Rad Partners, I architected scalable AWS-based microservices for radiology AI workflows, integrating advanced technologies like SageMaker and Bedrock for automated report generation. My role involved designing event-driven infrastructure and ensuring secure access through API Gateway and Cognito-authenticated services. I have a strong focus on building infrastructure that improves user experiences and enhances operational efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have led initiatives that prioritize service reliability and observability, while also mentoring junior engineers and enforcing best practices across teams. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive impactful solutions in healthcare and beyond.
