What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead cloud-native, full-stack healthcare projects, drive EHR integrations, mentor teams, and deliver measurable improvements in patient access and system reliability.

I am a senior software engineer with 13+ years building scalable, high-impact healthcare technology platforms for both large insurance providers and community clinics. I specialize in full-stack development, cloud architecture, and integrations that improve patient access and clinical efficiency.

At Springfield Clinic I led modernization and EHR migration efforts, designing HL7/FHIR data mappings and APIs, developing React patient-portal features for 500,000+ patients, and engineering backend services in Python and Node.js to enable telehealth and reduce call abandonment. At UnitedHealth Group I developed high-availability Java APIs, data pipelines for OptumIQ, and enhancements to conversational AI systems.

I balance hands-on engineering with mentorship and technical leadership, emphasizing HIPAA-compliant design, performant systems, and measurable outcomes such as faster batch processing, reduced call abandonment, and improved patient engagement.
