• • Own API strategy for RESTful services, ensuring consistent JSON modeling, backward-compatible versioning, and strong API governance
• • Mentor team members and contribute to engineering standards, design reviews, and coding best practices
• • Design and implement ETL pipelines for structured/unstructured data using tools such as Python-based pipelines, Spring Batch, or cloud-native ETL frameworks
• • Lead data migration efforts for legacy-to-cloud or system-to-system transitions (incremental loads, bulk loads, validation, reconciliation)
• • Establish data quality, profiling, and governance practices
• • Work with clinical data formats, mapping, transformations, and normalization (FHIR resources, HL7 v2 segments, CCD/C-CDA documents)
• • Build and maintain CI/CD automation (unit tests, integration tests, SAST/DAST, artifact provenance, policy gates)
• • Deploy and operate services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using GKE, Cloud Run, Cloud Build, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, IAM, Secret Manager, etc
• • Drive SecDevOps practices: threat modeling, secure coding, dependency scanning, secrets management, container hardening
• • Implement observability frameworks (OpenTelemetry, tracing, dashboards, alerts, SLOs)
• • Integrate microservices with EHR systems using HL7 v2, FHIR, SMART on FHIR, and standard healthcare APIs
• • Support workflows across patient data exchange, interoperability, and HIPAA-aligned data flows
• • Collaborate with compliance and security teams to implement regulatory safeguards
