- Engineered secure REST, GraphQL, and gRPC service layers, integrating HL7v2 and FHIR (R4) data models for interoperability with EHR systems such as Epic, improving scheduling experience and reducing data exchange latency.
- Implemented enterprise-grade authentication using Okta SSO with SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and JWT, ensuring consistent identity governance and authorization across distributed healthcare microservices.
- Directed system architecture using DDD, Clean Architecture, CQRS, Saga orchestration, Repository pattern, and event-driven microservices to improve maintainability, resilience, and modular domain boundaries across clinical workflows.
- Engineered data solutions across SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, and Cosmos DB, leveraging EF Core with LINQ, optimized T-SQL stored procedures, indexing, partitioning, and caching to support high-volume transactional throughput.
- Designed ETL pipelines using Azure Data Factory (ADF) and SSIS, orchestrating data ingestion and transformation across scheduling, pharmacy, and MES datasets for reporting, analytics, and operational insights.
- Developed reusable front-end components with React + Redux Toolkit and Blazor, establishing design systems, state management patterns, and optimized rendering pipelines that improved UI responsiveness and user satisfaction.
- Implemented cloud-native processes using Azure App Service, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and event-driven messaging via Azure Service Bus and Kafka, enabling fault-tolerant processing across appointment, pharmacy, and manufacturing workflows.
- Delivered modern DevOps automation through Azure DevOps, containerized services with Docker, and deployed microservices to AKS/Kubernetes, enabling high-velocity, zero-downtime releases across multiple environments.
- Built comprehensive test suites using xUnit, Jest, Cypress, Playwrite, and Postman, ensuring strong backend, UI, integration, and end-to-end coverage for regulated healthcare environments.
- Established full observability using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Grafana, Datadog, and OpenTelemetry, enabling deep distributed tracing, anomaly detection, and proactive performance optimization across mission-critical applications.
- Leveraged GitHub Copilot, Claude and ChatGPT to accelerate coding, test generation, and documentation improving engineering velocity and overall code quality.
- Led technical design, mentored junior developers enforcing coding standards and collaborated closely with cross-functional teams including product managers, QA, DevOps, clinicians and ML/Data engineers to deliver high-quality features aligning business goals.
Senior Software Engineer
Google
Kirkland, WA

- Designed and developed high-throughput, low-latency backend services using Java, leveraging gRPC + Protocol Buffers for internal service communication and achieving sub-millisecond response times at scale.
- Built distributed data-processing components backed by Spanner and Bigtable, implementing optimized query patterns, schema strategies, and strongly consistent transactions across global regions.
- Engineered large-scale event-driven pipelines using Pub/Sub, Dataflow, and Cloud Composer (Airflow) to automate ETL workflows feeding into BigQuery, improving analytical data freshness and reliability.
- Created scalable UI components using Angular, TypeScript, and Lit (Web Components), implementing Material Design standards and improving user engagement metrics by 30%.
- Modernized a legacy frontend codebase by migrating to Angular + TypeScript and Google's internal design systems, reducing technical debt and standardizing component patterns across teams.
- Implemented CI/CD pipelines on Google Cloud Build and internal CI tooling (Bazel + Gerrit) to automate build, test, and deployment processes, reducing release cycles.
- Leveraged Kubernetes (GKE) and Google's internal container orchestration (Borg-inspired) to deploy distributed microservices, achieving 99.99% service uptime and improving rollout safety.
- Developed internal monitoring dashboards using Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and Alerting Policies to proactively detect system anomalies and performance regressions.
- Created automated test suites using JUnit, Jest, Cypress, and internal Google testing frameworks to strengthen backend, UI, integration, and end-to-end validation coverage for production-grade systems.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams including SRE, product, and ML engineers to design resilient distributed architecture patterns used across multiple Google product surfaces.
Software Engineer
