Lead DevOps / Full-Stack Engineer
A digital health platform that helps people access evidence-based obesity and metabolic care, connecting members with clinicians through web applications used daily for check-ins, medication management, and progress tracking. Promoted to lead engineer to own delivery across the full stack, including product features, backend services, and cloud infrastructure. Turns product ideas into production systems that members and care teams rely on.
- Promoted to lead engineer to own delivery from idea to production across backend, frontend, and cloud — the highest-output contributor on a platform serving thousands of members;
- Shipped member-facing features end-to-end on the web: medication management and refill requests, My Progress dashboards, and daily health check-ins — from API design through the member web app and care-team portal UI;
- Partnered with the data team to stand up Healthie clinical data ingestion: built the automated S3 replication pipeline that lands EHR data in our internal data lake — giving analytics and reporting a reliable feed without manual exports;
- Launched AI-powered food logging on the web: members photograph meals and get instant nutrition breakdowns, improving daily engagement and reducing manual data entry;
- Fixed a critical login failure under peak traffic that was blocking member access — restored reliability at 3x load and contributed the fix back to the industry-standard Auth0 library used by companies worldwide;
- Proved the platform can scale 9x before major growth — load-tested against ~9,000 members and gave leadership a clear green light to expand without outage risk;
- Own cloud infrastructure and release safety: production deployments gated by automated checks, monitoring across the full stack, and faster recovery when issues appear.
Senior Full-Stack Engineer
A digital health platform for evidence-based obesity and metabolic care, connecting members with clinicians through web apps used daily for check-ins, medication management, and progress tracking. Hired as a senior engineer, they built the core member experience across the backend, member web app, and care-team portal — foundational work that led to a promotion to lead.
- Created the daily habit that keeps members engaged — built the health check-in system (weight, blood pressure, glucose, nutrition, activity, symptoms) that became the platform's main daily touchpoint and gave clinicians real-time visibility into each member's progress;
- Made staying on treatment effortless — shipped medication management end-to-end (refill requests, pharmacy search, automated care-team tasks) so members reorder in a few taps instead of phone calls, cutting work for the care team;
- Improved retention by turning scattered health data into a clear story — delivered the "My Progress" dashboards where members track food, movement, and vitals in one place, making care conversations more data-driven;
- Made the member experience feel seamless — integrated 12+ clinical and business systems (identity, EHR, devices, nutrition, support, marketing) so data flowed automatically instead of through manual handoffs;
- Shipped new features continuously without disrupting members already in care — safely evolved a live production database through 260+ schema changes with no member-facing downtime;
- Delivered one consistent product across the member web app and the care-team portal — worked across the full stack so members and clinicians got a single cohesive experience, not disconnected tools.
Senior Software Engineer
A competitive-intelligence platform that helps government contractors find and win federal opportunities by turning complex public data into actionable insights. Led technology direction across AI, cloud infrastructure, and product delivery for a multi-site platform serving GovCon teams.
- Led technology strategy across AI, infrastructure, and product — setting direction for how the platform ingested data, served insights, and scaled with customer demand;
- Built production AI features from raw data to deployed models — shortening time from research to revenue-generating product capabilities;
- Cut cloud hosting costs ~55% through infrastructure redesign and migration — freeing budget for product and sales growth;
- Established observability and on-call practices (monitoring, alerting, incident response) — reducing downtime and improving customer trust;
- Drove CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code standards so the team shipped faster with fewer production surprises;
- Designed secure authentication and API architecture supporting multiple customer-facing sites on one backend.
DevOps Engineer
A consulting firm helping client engineering teams modernize how they build and deploy software through containerization, automated releases, and production reliability across multiple client products.
- Containerized client applications and built automated release pipelines — cutting manual deployment work and reducing release risk;
- Deployed production workloads to Kubernetes for clients needing scale and uptime guarantees;
- Built internal tooling to automate builds, releases, and monitoring across client environments;
- Led production troubleshooting and reliability improvements — restoring service faster when client systems failed.
Software Engineer
An email marketing personalization platform for major retailers, using predictive analytics to increase engagement and revenue from email campaigns. Its content-management product enables marketing teams to create, manage, and schedule personalized campaigns at scale.
- Built a content-library application from zero — giving marketing teams a single place to manage email creatives, offers, and campaign content tied to customer events;
- Engineered backend services and integrations with major email platforms (Salesforce, Acoustic, Responsys, and others) — enabling clients to personalize at scale without switching tools;
- Led cloud migration from AWS to Google Cloud — improving cost, performance, and operational flexibility for the platform;
- Implemented secure client authentication (Auth0, SAML) and secrets management — meeting enterprise security requirements for retail customers;
- Modernized engineering workflow: migrated source control and CI/CD to GitHub Actions — enabling faster releases and better collaboration across teams;
- Established production alerting and error tracking — catching issues before clients and their customers felt them.
