I’m a senior software engineer with 13+ years designing and delivering scalable, distributed systems across healthcare, fintech, and SaaS. I specialize in backend architectures (Java, .NET, Python, Node.js, Go), API-first microservices, and event-driven platforms, with strong frontend experience in React and Next.js. I’m adept at cloud-native deployments on AWS and Azure, DevOps automation, and building secure, compliant production systems. I enjoy translating complex business requirements into robust technical solutions and leading architecture initiatives that improve performance and resilience. I’ve led AI/LLM integrations using OpenAI APIs and LangChain, created near real-time data pipelines, and collaborated closely with product, security, and compliance teams to deliver HIPAA/SOC2-ready software. I’m motivated by fast-paced environments, continuous learning, and mentoring teams toward clean architecture and measurable impact.
