Staff Software Engineer & Cloud Architect
I work on the parts of cloud-native systems that the rest of the architecture depends on — service contracts, ingestion paths, caching layers, schema evolution. Mostly Go and Python on Kubernetes, with recent focus on healthcare and biotech.
Selected systems impact
~70% faster end to end
Re-architected a biotech platform's core data path
Redesigned ingestion and retrieval across the platform's core data pipeline, cutting end-to-end processing time by roughly 70%.
Billions of production events
Defined the primitives and contracts behind an integrations platform
Designed the shared stream, queue, and workflow primitives—and the source and target contract conventions—underpinning a platform handling billions of production events.
Cross-service platform conventions
Established service boundaries across a multi-service Python platform
Defined service ownership and API contract conventions across backend APIs, ETL and ML pipelines, monitoring, and CLI surfaces, reducing integration friction and making cross-team changes safer to coordinate.
Beyond previous load ceilings
Led a backend beyond its previous architectural ceiling
Architected the migration from a monolithic Elixir backend to service-oriented components and replaced a synchronous request path with distributed processing, allowing the platform to move beyond its previous load ceilings.
