About

I’m a senior software engineer who enjoys turning messy data and ambitious product ideas into dependable, user-ready systems. At Persistent Systems I’ve led projects for Intuit, Harvard Medical School, and healthcare startups, building everything from FastAPI microservices and React dashboards to NLP pipelines and deep-learning models. Highlights include: --> QuickBooks Finance Agent: Python and FastAPI backend, React front end, and LLM integrations now serving 1 M+ small-business users. --> Clinical-note processing for Harvard Medical School, converting free-text EMRs into tidy I2B2 datasets that support outcomes research. --> PathologyGAN, a GAN that generates high-quality H&E images validated by pathologists. I’m comfortable moving between architecture diagrams, SQL scripts, model notebooks, and UI components, and I keep deployments humming with Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and Terraform. Outside of work I mentor junior devs, speak at Google Cloud community events, and tinker with open-source projects (my UMLS Python client is now listed by the NIH). If you’re working on data-heavy products, agentic AI, or simply need someone who can bridge backend, ML, and front-end concerns, let’s connect.

Senior Software Engineer

Dec 2023 – Aug 2025 · 1 yr 8 mos

As a Senior Software Engineer, I have contributed to enhancing the performance and efficiency of healthcare information systems. My work at Connxus involved improving PostgreSQL query speeds, which helped streamline data processes for a health information exchange platform in Central Texas. I managed databases to ensure consistent and reliable data flow, and used Python to significantly reduce the time required for report generation. I also developed a system to notify when data views needed refreshing, maintaining data integrity.
In addition to database management, I have experience in cloud computing, where I set up and managed EC2 instances on AWS, and utilized AWS services for messaging and automation. My focus has been on simplifying complex processes, improving system reliability, and supporting healthcare management decisions through optimized data handling and infrastructure management.

Jul 2022 – Nov 2023 · 1 yr 4 mos

In my role as a Data Scientist, I've had the opportunity to work on several projects that aimed to improve healthcare technologies and data management. For a Florida-based microscopy company, I helped develop a solution that sped up the detection process for certain medical tests. I've also created proof-of-concept work for imaging solutions at GE Healthcare, and contributed to a project at Harvard focused on analyzing health records to better understand diabetes in specific populations. Currently, I'm involved in a project to organize and manage health record data for hospitals in Texas, which is aimed at making this information more accessible and useful for healthcare providers. My work focuses on making data analysis more efficient and helping to advance medical research and care.
