About

Built and owned end-to-end production systems for a healthcare platform, including a predictive task recommendation feature (React + FastAPI + ML on AWS ECS) that cut backlog 20% and saved coordinators ~10 hours/week. Also productionized an AI-native RAG system (vector DB + LLM) delivering 40% faster query resolution, and led phased modernization of a monolithic FastAPI service into async microservices using feature flags and canary releases.
