Staff software engineer building reliable backend and distributed systems, integrating AI to scale healthcare, fintech, and e-commerce.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Staff Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building and scaling backend and distributed systems across healthcare, fintech, and e-commerce. I’ve worked at Google and Microsoft, and more recently at Powers Health, delivering production-grade services focused on reliability, performance, and clean system design.
At Powers Health, I built and maintained backend services and APIs for HIPAA-regulated clinical and operational systems, including integrating HL7 and FHIR for reliable healthcare data exchange. I also developed AI-assisted features like predictive patient alerts and automated workflow suggestions, and modernized legacy applications by breaking them into smaller, easier-to-maintain services deployed on AWS and Azure.
Across Google, MoneyLion, Microsoft, and Sweetwater, I’ve designed APIs and services (gRPC/REST), improved scalability and fault tolerance, and supported high-traffic production environments using Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native practices. I focus on practical solutions, clear communication, and writing code other engineers can easily understand, maintain, and operate end-to-end—from design and implementation to deployment and support.
