What I'm looking for

I seek technical roles building secure, high-performance cloud platforms with strong engineering culture, mentorship, and impactful cross-functional collaboration.

I am a Senior Software Development Engineer with over 10 years of experience building scalable, secure cloud platforms across healthcare, e-commerce, and enterprise domains. I design low-latency APIs, distributed microservices, and petabyte-scale data pipelines while ensuring regulatory compliance such as HIPAA and PCI-DSS.

At Amazon I engineered sub-second medical image retrieval, implemented petabyte-scale DICOM ingestion pipelines, and drove IAM/KMS/TLS audit-compliant architectures while contributing to developer experience via guides, SDK samples, and console workflows. I have a track record of improving throughput, reducing onboarding time, and enabling cross-region migrations through automation and metadata normalization.

I am a collaborative mentor and Agile practitioner who partners with cross-functional teams, ISVs, and healthcare providers to validate interoperability and deliver enterprise-grade solutions. I focus on developer productivity, CI/CD/IaC best practices, observability, and secure, high-performance systems.
