Has also supported phased cloud-to-on-prem migrations with a focus on security monitoring/SIEM log continuity.”

“Product-focused full-stack engineer (Spring Boot/Django + React/TypeScript) with deep experience building multi-tenant, enterprise workflow and supply-chain/order-tracking systems. Owned an end-to-end Workflow SLA Breach Prediction & Alerting feature integrating Azure ML for a cloud workflow platform used by ~10,000 enterprise users, and has hands-on AWS operations experience resolving real production latency/scaling incidents via query optimization and Redis caching.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer who led a legacy monolith-to-microservices migration (OAuth, Redis, ActiveMQ) while shipping incrementally via CI/CD to avoid user disruption. Strong in search/filter experiences and performance tuning (Solr schema + relevance boosting) with measurable impact (login reduced to ~5s), plus React/TypeScript UI work including configuration-driven filters and shareable URL state.”

“Full-stack engineer in healthcare and enterprise analytics who has shipped event-driven, near-real-time systems (Spring Boot microservices + Kafka + AWS) and large-scale patient/provider portals (50k+ users). Strong in production reliability and performance—measurably reduced claims latency (27%), cut support tickets (25%), and handled real AWS scaling incidents end-to-end. Also built a Python REST control plane for SDN routing integrated with external reinforcement learning agents.”
