Experience

  1. Lead Software Engineer

    The Valor Solution · New York, NY

    Feb 2025 — Present

    • Sole technical leader for company-wide platform migration from RPA to a code-based architecture, directly enabling $1M+ ARR and unlocking the ability to scale.
    • Architected and built an AI-powered healthcare fax processing system handling 20,000–70,000 faxes/month using AWS Textract, OpenAI APIs, Lambda, EventBridge, and EKS microservices. Reduced clinic staff processing time from two minutes per fax to zero — eliminating hundreds of manual hours weekly.
    • Built Playwright-based Python automation (ECS) to programmatically upload processed documents into eClinicalWorks EMR, fully automating the document-to-EMR pipeline.
    • Designed and implemented a charge-entry system processing $500K/month in pharmacy prescriptions via Liberty API integration, including patient intake registration and refill workflows.
    • Designed system architecture and established AWS multi-account infrastructure using Control Tower and Organizations. Created isolated dev/staging/prod environments on EKS with security tooling (CrowdStrike).
    • Grew and led a team of 12 engineers. Established code-review standards, sprint processes, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions), and 100% unit-test coverage for all deployments.

  2. Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer

    Reelay · Scottsdale, AZ

    May 2023 — Feb 2025

    • Led development of a flagship AI meeting assistant integrating Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom via REST APIs. Automated transcription and analysis for 900+ daily meetings; achieved the company’s first 500 connected calendars. The tool turned raw transcripts into action items, decisions, follow-up tasks, and a Meeting Minutes docx — saving customers hours per week.
    • Built a Node.js / Express AI transcription microservice using AssemblyAI for transcription and OpenAI for extraction. Wrote the prompts that produced results customers said were better than competing services — driving switch-overs from those services to ours.
    • Architected and built a React web application for organizations and end users to view, edit, and delete meetings, manage bots, sync calendars, and manage Stripe subscriptions. Includes Microsoft Azure AD SSO integration.
