I am a senior full-stack developer delivering scalable AI-enabled healthcare and enterprise systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior full-stack developer focused on building scalable, reliable systems and shipping AI-enabled products that solve real business problems.
In my current role I optimized REST APIs to deliver real-time patient data with latency under one second, contributed to an AI engine for personalized treatment recommendations, and built full-stack features that improved ML analysis speed and client acquisition. I also developed financial metrics to quantify profitability and engineered a pipeline that processed over 10 million radiographs in under two hours (down from five days).
Previously I designed and implemented real-time monitoring, REST APIs, and integrations to improve cross-team collaboration, containerized applications for cloud deployment (Azure/AWS), and standardized API documentation using Swagger, OData, and OpenAPI. I implemented search improvements with Solr and centralized logging with the Elastic Stack to reduce downtime and accelerate issue resolution.
Earlier roles include building high-efficiency government workflow modules and large-scale IVR and VAS solutions that served millions of users. I enjoy owning end-to-end product delivery, resolving production issues, and helping teams adopt cloud-native, data-driven practices.
