Implemented high-performance data ingestion services in Node processing billions of metrics per day with 99.99% uptime. Built internal platform SDKs exposing GraphQL and REST APIs for customer dashboards and alert rules, improving feature velocity by 40%. Used .NET 6 Core, Docker, Azure App Service, and Kubernetes to create a health service API; constructed build and release pipelines using Azure DevOps to ensure consistent multi-environment deployments. Developed dynamic configuration loader in Python enabling zero-downtime reloads for observability agents deployed to 100k+ nodes. Improved latency of distributed log processing by over 50% through redesigned worker fan-out pattern using Kafka and gRPC.

Architected and maintained a high-throughput API gateway using Node.js, optimizing latency, observability, and fault tolerance across a federated architecture. Led a cross-team migration of legacy monolith components to a distributed microservices system, reducing deployment time by 30% and improving on-call MTTR. Consulted on a new product line enabling customers to sell existing inventory online through the platform using React, Angular, Node, Redux, and AWS. Engineered performance-critical modules in Python to optimize core request processing paths and integrated them with existing Express services to improve throughput by 20%. Built scalable telemetry pipelines using OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, achieving 2-second alert latency and end-to-end traceability across microservices. Mentored 6+ engineers on idiomatic TypeScript, memory safety, concurrency, and maintainability. Developed reusable observability middleware in Node adopted by 15+ microservices. Drove architectural discussio

Developed a scalable data warehouse to serve consumer, mobile, and admin interfaces with healthcare data using .NET 7, Azure DevOps, and AWS. Ingested FHIR and EDI-X12 data from multiple insurance providers into DynamoDB using AWS Fargate/ECS. Implemented health service APIs with .NET 6, Docker containers, Azure App Service, and Kubernetes, and constructed multi-environment deployment pipelines with Azure DevOps. Implemented invoicing and payment automation for an international travel company using Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, and Google Sheets integration. Modeled a dashboard for corporate action events for a hedge fund using C#, a web API, and React; presented usage patterns to developers.
