Senior software engineer specializing in scalable backend systems and cloud architecture.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building scalable backend systems and interactive frontends across healthtech and media streaming. I have designed and implemented services that handle high-volume transactions and supported millions of users through reliable cloud infrastructure.
At Cedar, I developed Python/Django backend services, integrated Stripe payments, and executed FHIR/HL7 data exchanges with healthcare providers, improving automation and payment processing. I have scaled AWS infrastructure to achieve high concurrency and uptime, and integrated real-time messaging to enhance patient support.
Previously at Hulu, I launched features like Watch Party and a self-serve ad platform, contributed to frontend improvements with React and TypeScript, and maintained performant backend systems using Go, Node.js, and Python. My work reduced user navigation and content search times and supported increased engagement.
I mentor junior engineers and promote collaborative teams focused on testable, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability. I seek to deliver reliable, secure, and user-focused software that drives measurable business results.
