Work Experience
My professional journey and the companies I've worked with.
Leading technical architecture for next-generation healthcare platforms. Architected HIPAA-compliant, multi-tenant patient management systems on AWS using GoLang, TypeScript, TanStack, and Vite. Designed and built an AI-powered clinical chat interface leveraging LLMs, vector databases, and DAGs to give nurses real-time, context-rich patient summaries.
Led a global distributed team to build the leading NFT marketplace on Pulsechain end-to-end. Built an LLM-powered NFT recommendation engine analyzing user behavior, traits, and on-chain activity. Architected a data pipeline that processed millions of NFTs across tens of thousands of collections, with a distributed locking workflow for deterministic blockchain processing. All smart contracts fully audited via Foundry and Hardhat with comprehensive unit tests.
Built and stabilized a computer vision system for real-time football tracking, using C/C++/GoLang to manage high-resolution cameras and a custom-trained AI model with OpenCV. Deployed for UCONN football games at Rentschler Field with measurement accuracy down to roughly half an inch.
Big Data analysis / DevOps / Full Stack Development. Modernized backend applications onto Spring and Hibernate, hardened security via ESAPI, migrated SVN to Git, and built a Jenkins CI pipeline for end-to-end automation.
Full Stack Development / Security / DevOps. Led offshore Scrum teams, introduced unit testing methodology, and drove performance and security improvements across the metering business suite.
Modernized auto parts inventory and management by analyzing legacy VB6 applications and migrating data flows into a J2EE application built with Java and PL/SQL.
Led automation of testing for FADEC applications processing real-time jet engine data. Translated engineering requirements into test plans and built automation suites in QTP/VBScript and Selenium across four J2EE applications.
