What I'm looking for

I seek engineering roles in healthcare tech where I can build secure, scalable, cloud-native systems, lead cross-functional teams, and apply ML/GenAI to improve patient experiences and operational efficiency.

I am a seasoned senior software engineer with over nine years building healthcare-focused systems at Function Health, Meta, and McKesson, specializing in HIPAA‑compliant APIs, telehealth, and revenue-cycle automation.

I design and ship cloud-native, event-driven architectures using C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and PHP, and I have delivered measurable outcomes like 30% reductions in manual work and 99.95% uptime for real-time consultations.

My work spans full‑stack development, healthcare interoperability (FHIR, HL7), observability, and ML/GenAI integrations, including fine-tuning language models to automate patient messaging and summarize results.

I lead cross-functional teams with strong DevOps and project-management practices—building CI/CD pipelines, implementing security and compliance (OAuth2/OpenID Connect, RBAC), and driving performance and scalability improvements.
