About

I am a solutions architect based in Bengaluru, sixteen years into building distributed, fault-tolerant systems for healthcare and financial services. Java and Spring Boot are my working language; AWS and Kubernetes are where the systems live; event-driven architecture is how they scale.

At AthenaHealth I owned architecture for a platform serving over 50 million requests a day at 99.99% uptime, migrated production workloads from ECS to EKS by hand, and ran clinical data interoperability with Cerner, CommonWell and CareQuality over HL7 FHIR and SMART on FHIR — work that lifted provider adoption 23%.

I also managed the team. Five years of formal people leadership: grew the group from five to ten, closed twenty hires across ten drives, built three successful promotion cases, and lost one person in four years.

The AI work came out of impatience with our own delivery speed. I designed a spec-driven, AI-integrated development workflow, took it across seven teams and thirty-five engineers, and cut cycle time 60%. Then I built a clinical summarisation engine that cut record-review time 35%. Both are the reason I now spend most of my time on agentic systems.
