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. --- ## Technical Skills ### Languages - TypeScript - Python - Rust - Golang - C++ ### Backend - FastAPI - REST APIs - Integration services - Data ingestion pipelines - Healthcare and pharmacy system integrations (MyHealthRecord expert) - Authentication and authorization flows - Background jobs and business logic services ### Frontend - React - Next.js - TypeScript - Modern component-driven UI development - Product-focused frontend architecture ### Databases & Data - Relational databases - Non-relational databases - SQL - Pharmacy and patient-data integration workflows - Historical data ingestion - Analytics-oriented data pipelines ### Platforms & Domains - Telehealth - Pharmacy technology - Healthcare integrations - AI applications and wrappers - Developer tools - Web applications - B2B SaaS products --- ## Experience ## Senior Software Engineer **Hola Health** — Melbourne, Australia **March 2025 – Present** At Hola Health, I lead engineering work on **Hola Shop**, a pharmacy-commerce product that enables pharmacies to sell directly to patients through the Hola App. This product completed a key part of the telehealth loop: patients can consult with a GP, receive a prescription, purchase the medication, and arrange delivery from within the same application experience. ### Key Responsibilities & Impact - Spearheaded development of the **Hola Shop** product for pharmacy e-commerce inside the Hola telehealth ecosystem. - 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 - **Python** - **FastAPI** - **React** - **Next.js** - **TypeScript** - Healthcare / telehealth product architecture - Pharmacy-commerce workflows --- ## Integrations Lead **StrongRoom AI** — Melbourne, Australia **April 2023 – March 2025** Led integration engineering for the expansion of **StrongPro** into international markets, particularly the **United Kingdom** and the **United States**. The role focused on integrating with local dispensing systems to ingest historical patient and prescription data, enabling analytics and operational intelligence for pharmacy customers. ### Key Responsibilities & Impact - Led a team of 4 engineers working on complex pharmacy and dispensing-system integrations. - Owned technical delivery for international expansion integration work across the UK and US. - Designed and coordinated ingestion workflows for historical patient and prescription data. - Worked with external healthcare/pharmacy systems where reliability, correctness, and data consistency were critical. - Translated ambiguous third-party system requirements into practical engineering tasks and integration architecture. - Provided technical direction across implementation, debugging, integration strategy, and delivery planning. - Helped scale StrongPro’s integration capabilities beyond the Australian market. ### Tech Stack & Areas - Pharmacy dispensing-system integrations - Historical patient-data ingestion - Prescription-data ingestion - Data pipelines for analytics - Backend integration services - Healthcare interoperability - Team leadership and technical delivery --- ## Integrations Engineer **StrongRoom AI** — Melbourne, Australia **November 2021 – April 2023** Joined StrongRoom AI as one of the earliest engineers on the team and drove critical integration work across national healthcare systems and pharmacy dispensing software. The role involved building and maintaining integration layers between StrongRoom products, **My Health Record**, and pharmacy dispensing systems. ### Key Responsibilities & Impact - Joined the company as approximately the fifth member of the engineering team. - Helped build foundational integration infrastructure for StrongRoom’s pharmacy and healthcare products. - Worked on integrations with **My Health Record** and pharmacy dispensing software. - Built frontend functionality using **React**. - Developed business-logic and middleware components using **Rust**. - Worked with **Laravel** for database-connected backend systems. - Operated across multiple layers of the system, including frontend UI, integration middleware, backend services, and data persistence. - Contributed to early-stage product engineering where speed, ownership, and technical flexibility were essential. ### Tech Stack - **React** - **Rust** - **Laravel** - Healthcare integrations - Pharmacy dispensing software integrations - My Health Record integrations - Backend middleware - Database-connected application services --- ## Earlier Engineering Experience Prior to the roles above, I worked across several major technology stacks and product categories, including: - **Ruby on Rails** web applications - **React** and **MERN-stack** applications - **Blockchain** application development - Modern **AI application wrappers** and AI-assisted software products This progression has given me broad architectural perspective across traditional web applications, modern JavaScript systems, distributed/blockchain applications, healthcare integrations, and AI-native product development. --- ## Projects ## Durango https://durango.sh Durango is a UI layer for chatting to any LLM in existence.
