What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role building secure, compliant cloud platforms with strong cross-functional collaboration, mentoring opportunities, and technical ownership.

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 that meet strict regulatory standards such as HIPAA and PCI-DSS.

At Amazon I engineered sub-second medical image retrieval, implemented petabyte-scale DICOM ingestion pipelines, and enforced IAM/KMS/TLS-based compliance while collaborating with ISVs and healthcare providers to validate interoperability. I have also scaled PCI-DSS–compliant checkout systems and real-time fraud detection pipelines at Deliverr, and prototyped AI-driven enterprise services at Informatica.

I am a strong collaborator, mentor, and advocate for developer productivity, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code practices, having reduced onboarding time and QA cycles through documentation, SDKs, testing improvements, and mentorship.
