About

I’m Jason Blackburn, a Principal Software Engineer focused on building AI-powered healthcare platforms and large-scale distributed systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in HIPAA-compliant systems, real-time clinical data pipelines, and LLM-powered applications that support 10M+ patient records and high-volume workflows. I’m a hands-on technical leader with deep expertise in backend engineering, microservices, and AI integration, delivering high-performance systems that optimize clinical operations, automate workflows, and enable intelligent decision-making.

In recent roles, I designed and scaled backend services handling millions of transactions, improved reliability and observability, and drove CI/CD and infrastructure automation to cut deployment time and cloud costs. I’ve led technical direction across teams while staying hands-on in system design and implementation, delivering scalable solutions across national healthcare platforms.
