Senior software engineer specializing in secure, cloud-native microservices and event-driven systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience building secure, scalable, cloud-native enterprise applications across healthcare, retail, federal, and digital marketing. I focus on modernizing legacy systems, designing distributed architectures, and improving performance and reliability.
In recent roles, I’ve led healthcare and federal platform development—building REST APIs, Kafka-based event-driven workflows, and HIPAA-/FISMA/NIST 800-53-compliant security using OAuth2, OIDC, JWT, and SAML. I also drive CI/CD automation and production observability with Jenkins, Azure DevOps, ELK, Prometheus/Grafana, and Splunk-aligned monitoring.
I enjoy end-to-end engineering: performance tuning (JVM tuning, caching with Redis, query optimization), cloud deployments on AWS/Azure/GCP with Docker/Kubernetes, and UI modernization with React/TypeScript and Angular. I bring a strong Agile delivery mindset and help teams through mentorship, secure coding practices, and pragmatic architecture decisions.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Led development of a healthcare claims and member services platform using Java 17, Spring Boot, and microservices. Implemented Kafka-based event-driven workflows, OAuth2/OIDC/JWT/SAML authorization, HIPAA-compliant PHI handling, and CI/CD pipelines while improving performance with Redis caching and query optimization.
Modernized a federal document management system to achieve 100% compliance with FISMA and NIST 800-53 for sensitive data handling. Built Redis caching for high-throughput APIs, implemented OAuth2/OIDC/JWT with SAML/OIDC federated identity, improved release reliability with Jenkins CI/CD, and reduced manual classification effort by 25% using NLP-based document routing.
