Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience building robust backend systems, ML-integrated pipelines, and production-grade APIs across healthcare and fintech domains. At Carelon Global Solutions, I led the development of a scalable clinical preauthorization system combining FastAPI-based microservices, custom document parsers, and a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline using LLMs. I also deployed explainability services (XAI) to improve model transparency and reduce clinician override rates. As a freelance engineer, I’ve designed and deployed backend infrastructure for high-stakes financial applications, focusing on security, performance, and testability. My core strengths lie in backend development, ML system integration, API design, and delivering reliable infrastructure under real-world constraints. Tech I work with: Python, FastAPI, Docker, Redis, PostgreSQL, PyTorch, MongoDB, Langchain.
