What I'm looking for

Seeking CTO or Lead Engineering role to drive technical strategy, build high-performing teams, and deliver scalable products in fast-paced startup environments.

I'm a Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building healthcare technology at scale. Currently at Function Health, I've led AI-powered patient engagement systems, EHR integrations, and infrastructure modernization. Before that, I was at Meta, where I helped scale Messenger's telehealth video infrastructure during COVID—supporting over 2 million daily consultations—and built privacy-first health data frameworks. At McKesson, I modernized a legacy pharmacy system processing 3 million prescriptions monthly.

My strengths span full-stack development, AI/ML implementation, DevOps, and healthcare compliance (HIPAA/GDPR). I've mentored 15+ engineers throughout my career and consistently deliver measurable results—cutting costs, improving uptime, and accelerating team velocity.

I thrive in startup environments where I can wear multiple hats, move fast, and see the direct impact of my decisions.
