Modernizing legacy healthcare IT infrastructure by migrating critical business logic to modern stacks and engineering automated cloud cost management tools. Focused on architecting scalable, zero-downtime feature rollouts and optimizing CI/CD workflows for production-grade healthcare applications.

• Modernized legacy applications by migrating to a containerized architecture, improving system maintainability and deployment reliability.
• Engineered an automated cloud cost monitoring system, providing granular visibility into infrastructure spend and enabling data-driven budget optimizations.
• Architected zero-downtime feature migrations using dual-write techniques to preserve production data integrity during large-scale system transitions.
• Streamlined development cycles by implementing automated CI/CD pipelines and optimized Docker configurations across Azure cloud services.
• Collaborated with senior leadership to translate complex business requirements into scalable technical designs and production-ready code.

Developed and maintained scalable RESTful APIs using Python (Flask), MongoDB, and MySQL, supporting core car-sharing platform features such as DMs, Ask to Verify, and Recurring Trips for 500+ users. Implemented robust input validation, error handling, and unit testing to ensure reliability, safety, and maintainability. Deployed and monitored backend services on AWS, optimizing performance, reducing latency by 40%, and lowering infrastructure costs by 15%, while collaborating closely with frontend teams for seamless integration.

• Architected scalable backend services using Python (Flask), MongoDB, and MySQL, reducing API latency by 40% and infrastructure costs by 15% on AWS.
• Designed and maintained RESTful APIs enabling efficient CRUD operations and seamless front-end integration.
• Optimized ride-hosting workflows, reducing listing time by 30% and improving search-to-match efficiency by 20% through a redesigned Connections and date-filtering system.
• Designed Flask routes, services, and models aligned with REST standards and internal best practices.
• Implemented robust data validation, error handling, and response management to ensure API reliability and user safety.
• Optimized MongoDB queries to enhance API response time and backend performance.
• Wrote unit tests to validate API functionality and ensure high code quality and coverage.
• Collaborated closely with frontend teams to integrate APIs with UI components for end-to-end feature delivery.
• Managed, deployed, and monitored backend services on AWS, contributing to CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure improvements.
• Conducted API testing and debugging to resolve backend issues efficiently.
• Suggested and implemented improvements to enhance code maintainability, scalability, and performance.
• Worked in Agile development environments using Git and modern cloud-based development tools.
