Technical Lead with 8+ years in Node.js, TypeScript, scalable systems, cloud platforms, team leadership, healthcare tech, and AI-assisted development.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer and Technical Lead with 8+ years of experience building scalable backend systems, APIs, and enterprise applications using Node.js, TypeScript, NestJS, MongoDB, and cloud technologies.
At Sorice Solutions, I spent nearly six years working on healthcare technology products for US-based clients, progressing from Software Engineer to Technical Lead. I led a cross-functional team of 12 members, contributed to system architecture and technical decision-making, conducted 300+ technical interviews, and drove improvements in code quality, performance, and development processes. My experience includes healthcare interoperability standards such as HL7 and FHIR, microservices, authentication, and high-volume APIs.
I enjoy solving complex engineering problems, designing reliable systems, mentoring engineers, and taking ownership of products from idea to production. I’m also actively exploring AI-assisted development, agentic coding, and integrating LLM-powered capabilities into practical applications.
Beyond my professional work, I’m interested in building side projects, experimenting with new technologies, and exploring entrepreneurial ideas. I’m particularly interested in healthcare, food technology, and products that solve real-world problems.
I’m looking for opportunities as a Senior Software Engineer, Technical Lead, Staff Engineer, or Forward Deployed Engineer, preferably with remote-friendly or international teams where I can combine hands-on engineering, technical leadership, and product ownership.
