What I'm looking for

I seek technical leadership roles building secure, scalable cloud platforms in regulated domains, with collaborative teams that value mentorship and strong engineering practices.

I am a Senior Software Development Engineer with over 10 years of experience building scalable, secure, and compliant cloud platforms across healthcare, e-commerce, and enterprise domains.

I have architected low-latency APIs, distributed microservices, and petabyte-scale ingestion pipelines, and delivered measurable performance gains such as 20× faster DICOM throughput and sub-second medical image retrieval for AI pipelines.

I prioritize regulatory compliance and security, implementing IAM-based access controls, per-store KMS encryption, TLS-enforced endpoints, and audit logging to meet standards like HIPAA and PCI-DSS while collaborating with ISVs and healthcare providers to validate interoperability.

I am a strong collaborator and mentor who drives Agile delivery, improves developer experience through documentation and SDKs, and promotes CI/CD and IaC best practices to reduce onboarding time and increase engineering productivity.
