• As Principal Engineer at MediBuddy, I’ve led core engineering initiatives focused on building resilient, reliable, and scalable systems that power healthcare access for millions of users. My work has spanned system design, technical strategy, and cross-team collaboration, with a focus on long-term architectural stability and developer velocity.
• Key contributions and focus areas include:
• Architected systems for high availability and resilience, with built-in fail-safes and recovery mechanisms.
• Championed idempotent design practices across services to ensure safe retries and consistent behavior under load or failure scenarios.
• Spearheaded Domain-Driven Design (DDD) adoption for better modularity, team ownership, and alignment with business domains.
• Led the move to contract-first API development, establishing clear boundaries and reducing integration friction between teams.
• Implemented engineering guardrails and platform standards that empowered teams to build safely and ship confidently.
• Actively mentored senior engineers and contributed to org-wide design forums, fostering a culture of technical rigor and collaboration.
• Worked closely with product, platform, and SRE teams to ensure that system design scales reliably with business growth.
• This role has allowed me to operate at the intersection of architecture, leadership, and execution — balancing the need for immediate delivery with a focus on long-term system health and team autonomy.

• As a Software Development Engineer 1 (SDE 1) at MediBuddy, I quickly adapted to a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, often described as "war mode." In this role, I immersed myself in exploring and understanding the core services of MediBuddy, contributing to several key features during my initial days to meet critical business milestones and adhere to stringent product release timelines.
• My journey involved extensive hands-on experience with backend systems, where I honed my skills in database management and microservice architecture. I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and optimize backend solutions that ensured seamless service delivery and enhanced user experiences. This period significantly deepened my technical expertise and prepared me for increasingly complex challenges in the healthcare technology landscape.
