Summary

Senior Software Engineer with deep experience building production-grade software systems across healthcare, telehealth, pharmacy, integrations, AI-enabled applications, and modern web platforms.

I have worked across multiple generations of software architecture, from Ruby on Rails applications, through React/MERN-stack products, blockchain systems, healthcare integrations, and modern AI-assisted developer workflows. My recent work focuses on complex integrations, backend platform design, healthcare interoperability, AI product development, and full-stack engineering using Python, FastAPI, React, Next.js, TypeScript, Rust, Laravel, and cloud-native infrastructure.

I operate comfortably across product engineering, backend architecture, frontend systems, third-party integrations, data pipelines, technical leadership, and high-ambiguity product execution. I am especially strong at taking complex real-world business or integration problems and turning them into reliable, maintainable production systems.

  • Designed and implemented backend business logic for pharmacy ordering, product workflows, and application-level integration points.
  • Built frontend product experiences using a modern React-based stack.
  • Worked across product, backend, frontend, and integration concerns to deliver a complete end-to-end healthcare commerce flow.
  • Helped connect GP consultations, prescriptions, pharmacy fulfilment, and patient purchasing into a cohesive application journey.

Tech Stack
