Senior Principal Software Engineer at Boehringer Ingelheim building a HIPAA-compliant health app with an agentic AI coach, now in pilot.

At Boehringer Ingelheim's BI X Digital Innovation Lab, I'm leading the architecture of a consumer health app now in pilot, including its agentic AI coach. I built the coach's permission and safety model and an insight engine that ranks personalized recommendations from user biodata.

I'm architecting the cross-platform React Native app and its Python FastAPI services, and leading a five-person team taking the product from pilot to production. I also set engineering standards and lead adoption of agentic coding tools across the lab.

At IBM, I built an AI support triage system that cut resolution time by 70% for thousands of developers, and a multi-cluster API used by thousands of enterprise applications. I also led the Global Ledger UI rewrite for systems processing billions of dollars in transactions and co-led research combining knowledge graphs with LLMs.
