Senior Integration Engineer with 14+ years of experience designing, modernizing, and supporting large-scale integration platforms in regulated industries, including healthcare and enterprise data systems.
Experience
2022 — Now
As a Principal Software Engineer & Solutions Architect at Flipt, I play a key role in modernizing and scaling healthcare integration platforms used for Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM). My work focuses on designing cloud-native, event-driven integration architectures that meet strict regulatory, performance, and reliability requirements while enabling faster onboarding and operational efficiency.
Key Contributions & Impact:
Led the redesign of legacy, batch-oriented and mainframe-style integration workflows into cloud-native, API-first, and event-driven architectures, improving scalability, resilience, and auditability across the platform.
Designed and implemented self-service onboarding frameworks for clients, plans, formularies, and pricing configurations, reducing dependency on developer-driven data loads during implementations.
Enabled a major reduction in go-live timelines by shifting from industry-standard onboarding cycles of 4–6 months to approximately 2–4 weeks through standardized integrations, validation pipelines, and configuration-driven workflows.
Defined integration standards and best practices adopted across teams, including service contracts, canonical data models, error-handling patterns, and performance benchmarks (p95/p99 latency targets).
Built and optimized high-throughput integration services supporting millions of transactions, ensuring deterministic processing, regulatory traceability, and consistent performance under peak load.
Partnered with product, implementation, and business teams to translate regulatory and operational requirements into scalable integration solutions aligned with healthcare compliance standards.
Acted as an architecture reviewer and technical mentor, guiding design decisions across teams and helping engineers adopt modern integration and observability practices.

As a Senior Solutions Architect at ACI Infotech, I led the design and delivery of cloud-based integration and data platforms for healthcare clients, with a strong focus on scalability, performance, and regulatory compliance. I worked closely with client stakeholders and engineering teams to modernize legacy integration models and establish reusable architectural patterns across projects.
Key Contributions & Impact:
Owned end-to-end architecture for healthcare integration platforms supporting enterprise-scale transaction volumes, ensuring high availability, predictable performance, and compliance with healthcare regulations.
Designed and introduced standardized microservices and integration patterns, including gRPC-based service communication and API-first contracts, improving efficiency and interoperability compared to traditional REST-only implementations.
Established reusable orchestration and data engineering frameworks using Airflow, significantly reducing development effort and improving consistency across multiple client implementations.
Led proof-of-concept initiatives for cloud-native and event-driven architectures that were later adopted into production systems, influencing broader architectural direction across teams.
Partnered with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to translate complex regulatory and operational requirements into scalable, maintainable technical solutions.
Improved operational visibility by implementing real-time dashboards and monitoring frameworks, enabling faster incident detection and improved SLA adherence across client platforms.
Mentored engineers and reviewed solution designs, helping teams adopt modern cloud and integration best practices while reducing long-term technical debt.
