## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to lead Azure and .NET modernization work involving microservices, healthcare interoperability, secure integrations, and CI/CD delivery. I value hands-on architecture, quality engineering, and opportunities to solve complex cloud and integration challenges.
```

## About

```text
At Photon/Sentara Health, I modernize legacy healthcare APIs into FHIR-compliant services for member, practitioner, and claim domains. I build Azure-based microservices, ingestion pipelines, and API gateways that support CMS interoperability and patient-access requirements.

I integrate secure payment capabilities, including Fiserv premium payments, tokenization, PCI-compliant workflows, refunds, and reconciliation. My transaction-flow improvements reduced payment failures by 15% while improving the member experience.

Across Banfield, CVS Health, Capgemini, and ICube Consulting Services, I've delivered distributed .NET applications, CI/CD pipelines, event-driven integrations, and cloud cost optimization solutions. I also lead architecture, code reviews, testing, and delivery across healthcare, financial services, and e-commerce products.
