Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft
September 29, 2025 - October 12, 2025
At Microsoft I worked as a Senior Software Engineer mainly focused on healthcare and finance systems. A lot of my work was about modernizing old .NET apps into cloud-native microservices on Azure. I built APIs with .NET 6/7/8, gRPC, and even GraphQL to connect patient portals, provider systems, and finance apps. I also worked on event-driven pipelines using Azure Service Bus, Event Hubs, and Kafka to process claims in real time, which handled more than 50,000 transactions a day. On the frontend, I delivered apps with Angular and React/Next.js, and also used Blazor to create reusable components for finance dashboards. Security and compliance were big priorities, so I integrated Azure AD B2C, OpenID Connect, and full data encryption for HIPAA and PCI requirements. I also set up CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, adding automated testing and security scans. On top of that, I led architecture reviews, mentored junior developers, and worked closely with cross-functional teams across different time zones.
Full-Stack Engineer at ExxonMobil
August 30, 2021 - October 12, 2025
At ExxonMobil I worked as a Full-Stack Engineer on finance and healthcare benefits platforms. Most of my backend work was building APIs with ASP.NET Core 2.1–3.1, using EF Core and Dapper for data access. I also created background jobs with Quartz.NET and Hangfire for things like benefits calculations and nightly reporting. On the frontend side, I built Angular SPAs with RxJS and NgRx, including role-based dashboards for employees and administrators. I focused a lot on performance too — for example, I optimized SQL Server queries and added Redis caching, which cut API response times by about 40%. I was also responsible for secure data integrations with providers using REST, SFTP, and SOAP, with OAuth2 and JWT for security. For DevOps, I set up deployments in Azure DevOps using ARM templates and PowerShell DSC, and worked closely with finance and compliance teams to make sure everything stayed aligned with HIPAA, PCI, and SOX regulations.
Software Engineer at MD Anderson Cancer Center
July 18, 2015 - June 21, 2017
At MD Anderson I worked as a Software Engineer on healthcare and clinical systems. My main focus was building .NET MVC 5 and early .NET Core applications for patient billing, claims reconciliation, and fraud detection. I also created REST APIs with ASP.NET Web API that connected hospital systems like EMR and patient portals. On the UI side, I built Angular 2 dashboards with TypeScript and RxJS that gave billing staff and analysts real-time views of claims and fraud alerts. Performance was really important, so I tuned SQL Server stored procedures and indexes, which cut billing processing times by about half. I also developed SSRS reports and ETL packages in SSIS to support compliance reporting, and I worked closely with compliance officers to make sure the systems followed HIPAA and HITECH rules. For security, I implemented RBAC with Active Directory and encryption like TDE and Always Encrypted. On the DevOps side, I automated deployments using TFS and PowerShell.
