What I'm looking for
As a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in architecting secure, high-throughput systems across various industries including Healthcare, eCommerce, Education, Fintech, Insurance, Media, and SaaS. My expertise lies in building low-latency APIs and serverless AWS solutions, delivering seamless user experiences for millions while driving operational efficiency.
At Teladoc Health, I led the design and implementation of a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform that scaled to support over 8,000 concurrent virtual care sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic. My work included developing WebRTC-based video consultations and creating RESTful and GraphQL APIs secured with AWS IAM and OAuth. I have a proven track record of enhancing patient care through innovative solutions, such as an IoT integration for real-time monitoring and an OpenAI-driven alert prioritization system.
Previously, as a Senior Full-Stack Engineer at Thinkific, I architected and scaled a Learning Management System that empowered thousands of course creators and millions of students. My focus on optimizing performance and mentoring junior engineers has consistently improved team delivery speed and product reliability. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex challenges and enhance user experiences.
