What started as Java debugging in a college coffee shop became 6+ years shipping production systems. I build backend services in Python and Java, cloud infrastructure on AWS, and multi-model LLM architectures on Bedrock, with the guardrails, cost budgets, and observability that hold up under real traffic. My instinct is toward systems that operate themselves and AI that ships to real users, not demos.

Professional Experience
Two tenures across regulated workloads: SOX-compliant banking at JPMorgan Chase and HIPAA-compliant healthcare at Quality Health Care Group.
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Software Engineer (Banking)
April 2024 - Present
Platform engineering across private and public cloud for SOX-regulated banking services. Jenkins, Spinnaker, Terraform, AWS (Lambda, ECS, Step Functions), Cloud Foundry.
- Architected agentic AI workflow + chat dashboard on Amazon Bedrock and JPMC's CDAO Smart SDK, with autonomous Jira ticket completion via job-type-routed agents (extensible across Grafana, SonarQube, ServiceNow integrations) with extended-thinking validation, plus a developer console surfacing cross-repo context, SEAL/FID credentials, entitlements, and regulatory information through knowledge-base-grounded LLM queries
- Architected blue-green deployment strategy with automated database migration rollbacks for zero-downtime releases across SOX-regulated banking services
- Designed end-to-end CI/CD pipelines (Jenkinsfile + Spinnaker + custom Git branching) supporting ~1-hour production lead time for backend Django and Java/Spring services
- Engineered Celery + RabbitMQ async task processing with multi-layer health-check endpoints for proactive incident detection
- Built backend API routes via Django views and DRF serializers, extending banking services with new endpoints under RBAC + SOX-aligned access controls
- Built large-scale data processing pipelines on AWS EMR, Kinesis, Glue, and Athena, supporting real-time and batch analytics for cross-team consumers
- Provisioned AWS Lambda, ECS tasks, and Step Functions workflows with Terraform (IaC), automating cross-account event handling via EventBridge and SNS alerting
- Integrated PyTest integration test suite as CI/CD quality gate over Django banking-service routes, blocking deployments on regression
Quality Health Care Group Inc.
Software Engineer (Healthcare)
June 2018 - April 2024
Sole-developer build of HIPAA-aligned healthcare platform. Django REST Framework + React/TypeScript → Cloud Build (19-step CI/CD) → GCP/AWS.
- Architected HIPAA-aligned healthcare platform end-to-end (Django REST API + React/TypeScript) and built a 19-step Cloud Build CI/CD pipeline with automated rollback management and distributed locking, eliminating concurrent-deploy race conditions
- Engineered JWT authentication with RBAC across 4 clinical role tiers (Nurse, Supervisor, Admin, Support), token rotation, blacklisting, and comprehensive audit trails with 7-year retention for HIPAA compliance
Multi-Model Routing
Cheap models decide yes/no; hard questions climb a ladder. Production pattern from the Healthcare Compliance Platform: multi-model Bedrock routing cut monthly inference costs 78% on HIPAA-regulated document processing. Explore how different request types flow through the tier ladder.
Rates shown are illustrative for tier comparison, not published pricing. Current rates: aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing
Selected projects
Healthcare Compliance Platform: production GenAI on HIPAA infrastructure. ARC Modality: multi-tenant AI infrastructure built as independent R&D. Plus earlier social-media + cloud work at Xoobug.
