Healthfirst JUL 2023 — PRESENT
Senior Software Engineer · Perficient, Inc. · AWS Serverless / Healthcare Backend
  • Architected an AI agent orchestration layer for healthcare claims automation — MCP servers for tool access, LLM grounding against eligibility and clinical policy data, and a structured evaluation harness — enabling autonomous detection of missing claim info and straight-through prior-authorization processing across a 2M-member HIPAA-regulated platform.
  • Spearheaded a zero-downtime migration of a decade-old PHP monolith to AWS Lambda microservices, eliminating maintenance windows and sustaining 99.99% uptime through 5× peak open-enrollment traffic.
  • Reduced cross-functional deployment dependencies 50% with a RESTful API orchestration layer (API Gateway → Lambda → SQS) decoupling clients from 4 upstream healthcare data services.
  • Accelerated release velocity 40% with Terraform IaC modules automating blue-green CI/CD across dev, staging, and production.
Amazon AUG 2022 — JUL 2023
Senior Software Engineer · Perficient, Inc. · Identity & Access Management / RBAC Platform
  • Delivered an enterprise RBAC platform governing access for 5,000+ employees, with multi-level hierarchical permission inheritance resolving authorization at sub-50ms p99 under concurrent production load.
  • Automated quarterly access certification via RESTful API integrations with internal HR systems — eliminating 3 weeks of manual audit effort per cycle at 100% on-time PII compliance.
Ford Motor Company JUL 2021 — AUG 2022
Senior Software Engineer · Perficient, Inc. · Autonomous Vehicle Fleet / Event-Driven Backend
  • Led architecture for an event-driven microservices ecosystem — AWS Lambda APIs and Apache Kafka managing 10,000+ monthly bookings with exactly-once processing and zero booking loss under broker failure.
  • Reduced incident detection time 30% (18 → 12 min) with a CloudWatch observability framework ingesting 500+ events/min per vehicle.
Tata Consultancy Services JUN 2016 — JUN 2019
Software Engineer · Java / Spring Boot / Data Pipelines · Hyderabad, India
  • Delivered Java/Spring Boot RESTful APIs processing 15,000+ workflow events/day across 20+ engineering teams in 6 countries at a 99.5% success rate.
  • Recovered 2,400 hours of annual engineering capacity by replacing 24-hour Oracle ERP batch exports with near-real-time Python ETL pipelines.
