Senior Software Engineer specializing in healthcare enterprise platforms

Portland, OR20y exp

“Engineer with experience building foundational systems in healthcare and other production environments, including an early-stage Electronic Auths initiative inside Cambia where they helped define requirements and delivered the Intake API on time and under budget. Their background spans serverless Python on AWS, full-stack Drupal/PHP work for confidential genetic testing delivery, and Cassandra-backed API design for Choice Hotels.”

“Frontend engineer focused on high-stakes browser interfaces for museums, education, and public exhibits, including kiosks, touch tables, and student platforms. Stands out for combining performance engineering, offline-first resilience, strict typing, and state-machine-driven architecture to deliver polished experiences under hardware, network, and reliability constraints.”

“Full-stack engineer who built and scaled an AI-powered web product (React/Next.js + TypeScript/NestJS) with MongoDB, Redis, and RabbitMQ. Strong in rapid iteration while maintaining production quality—uses versioned APIs, feature flags, CI/CD, and observability (correlation IDs/structured logs) to ship frequently and debug distributed workflows. Also created an internal operations dashboard for real-time visibility and control of background jobs/AI workflows that was adopted quickly by ops and product teams.”

“Serial entrepreneur with 30+ years of professional software engineering experience who co-founded Food Truck Stars, initially a food-truck search engine and later pivoted into a catering marketplace to overcome adoption barriers. Validated the model by prototyping at car enthusiast events across the U.S. and turning a profit, using hands-on customer discovery with low-tech, time-constrained operators.”

“Built and deployed an LLM product called "Content Craft" combining BART-based summarization with a RAG Q&A chatbot using LangChain, embeddings, and a vector database. Has hands-on MLOps experience containerizing and serving models with FastAPI and running them on Kubernetes with monitoring, self-healing, and autoscaling, and has practical experience reducing hallucinations through structured prompting.”

“Full-stack engineer working on a medical practice SaaS, who owned an end-to-end charge entry module handling patient charges/payment workflows and complex client-side data transformations. Also built a fintech rating platform with real-time WebSocket streaming and TradingView-based charting, and has 10 years of university experience mentoring student "startup" capstone projects under tight deadlines.”
