What I'm looking for

I want to keep designing and operating distributed streaming and data pipelines—owning production support, CI/CD, and infrastructure, and shipping backend services that turn large event streams into reliable analytics.

I build and support Kafka streaming and data pipeline backends for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), leading design and production support for data pipelines. At Accenture Federal Services, I ran Java/Spring Boot services, mentored five engineers, and migrated a production data platform from Scala to Go.

Before that, I designed ingestion pipelines for a distributed security-data platform at Amazon using Kafka, Flink, Spark, and AWS. I’ve also shipped Node.js/TypeScript event-driven ETL on Lambda, built React dashboards for real-time pipeline visibility, and delivered an iOS app end to end that reached active users in TestFlight beta.
