Experience: 10+ years in software engineering, with 3+ years in technical leadership roles. Technical Expertise: Proficiency in Python and Java, with experience in frameworks like Flask/FastAPI, Spring Boot. Mastery of event-driven architectures (Kafka, Kinesis), distributed systems, and cloud platforms (AWS, Kubernetes). Strong background in building scalable, real-time data pipelines (Kafka, Flink, Airflow) and hybrid batch/stream systems. Hands-on experience with healthcare data standards: FHIR, CCDA, HL7 V2/V3, DICOM. Database design (SQL, NoSQL, DynamoDB) and data warehousing (Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake).

Demonstrated success in optimizing performance (latency, error rates) and reducing infrastructure costs (AWS). Leadership: Proven ability to mentor engineers, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver award-winning products. Soft Skills: Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills; ability to navigate ambiguity and drive consensus. Qualifications Experience in healthcare technology or other regulated industries (Medicare/Medicaid, payor systems, EHR integrations). Familiarity with real-time analytics, AI/ML integration, or genomic data pipelines. Track record of innovation in real-time reporting or streaming data products. Working knowledge of healthcare security and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, HITRUST).
