“Backend engineer focused on cloud/distributed systems, deploying Java 17/Spring Boot microservices on AWS EKS with RDS and Kafka. Demonstrated strong production readiness work (DB lock mitigation, Kafka idempotency, gradual rollouts) and delivered a major latency improvement (~400ms to ~100ms). Also has proven cross-layer troubleshooting skills, isolating intermittent API timeouts to a specific Kubernetes node’s network interface issue, and partners closely with ops teams to build dashboards and workflow automation (including Python scripts).”

“Python/ML engineer with strong DevOps depth: built an end-to-end regime-aware stock prediction system (custom fine-tuned FinBERT sentiment + technical/macro features) delivering a 12% accuracy lift. Also implemented Kubernetes/Helm + Jenkins/GitHub Actions pipelines (including GitOps-style workflows for multi-cloud Hyperledger Besu) and improved deployment speed/stability by ~50% while addressing race conditions and image drift.”

“Built a hackathon "Patient Summary Assistant" backend focused on healthcare workflows, combining RAG-based summarization with HIPAA-minded privacy controls (NER redaction + encryption). Demonstrated strong infra skills by deploying on Kubernetes with Helm/HPA and GitOps (ArgoCD), plus migrating from OpenAI to an on-prem Llama 3 stack (vLLM, quantization, shadow-mode testing) and adding real-time Kafka ingestion for patient vitals/anomaly alerts.”

“Full-stack engineer with 4+ years building production-grade healthcare applications, including a real-time patient monitoring/appointment platform (Spring Boot/Node + React) secured with OAuth2/JWT and deployed on Azure.
