United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building scalable backend systems for healthtech and media streaming companies. I focus on delivering reliable services that handle high transaction volumes and provide excellent user experiences.
At Cedar I developed Python/Django services automating patient eligibility and integrated Stripe, Twilio, FHIR/HL7, and AWS to support thousands of monthly transactions and maintain 99.9% uptime. I scaled systems to support 10,000+ concurrent users and enabled real-time streaming with Kafka and Snowflake for analytics.
Previously at Hulu I shipped customer-facing features including Watch Party and a Self-Serve Ad Platform using React, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and AWS, and optimized content discovery and UI performance with React and TypeScript. I contributed to backend reliability using Go, Node.js, and Python during peak traffic periods.
I mentor junior engineers and prioritize collaboration, test-driven delivery, and security/compliance (HIPAA, PCI DSS). I enjoy applying data-driven approaches to improve performance, reduce latency, and create customer-facing value.
