Staff Software Engineer specializing in scalable microservices, AI-driven solutions, and cloud architecture.
What I'm looking for
I am a Staff Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable microservices, event-driven systems, and AI-integrated platforms across telehealth, fintech, and e-commerce domains. I lead migrations from monoliths to distributed architectures and design secure cloud solutions on AWS and GCP.
I have driven high-impact projects including an AWS EKS microservices migration supporting thousands of concurrent WebRTC sessions, FHIR-compliant APIs for EHR integrations, and subscription billing systems supporting millions of active subscriptions. I pair backend expertise in Go, Java, Python, and Node.js with frontend work in React/TypeScript to deliver end-to-end products.
I prioritize engineering excellence, reliability, and measurable business outcomes, mentor engineers, and collaborate cross-functionally to deploy observability, CI/CD, and AI/ML-powered features that reduce MTTR, improve performance, and enhance user workflows.
