Full Stack Engineer
2am.tech Jan 2023 – Present Remote
Built a FastAPI-based ingestion pipeline that processed multi-format healthcare documents (PDFs, EHR exports), then used Python’s Tesseract OCR and AI-assisted logic to extract structured data from unstructured inputs.
Developed core backend logic using FastAPI and Prefect to parse patient data (ICD-10, CPT, NPI, insurance) and transform it into CMS-1500, UB-04, and X12 837 formats.
Used Snowflake to store, query, and audit billions of rows of claim data efficiently; optimized SQL with CTEs and materialized views for faster report rendering.
Wrote automated tests with Pytest and GitHub Actions to validate every PR, enforce 90%+ test coverage, and trigger staging previews.
Designed a Celery + Redis-based task queue to offload OCR, claim validation, and long-running eligibility checks (X12 270/271) asynchronously.
Integrated React.js claim review dashboards with backend APIs, showing AI-parsed data next to raw images for easy agent corrections.
Built AthenaHealth integration to pull patient records via API, then pushed validated claims back using transformed FastAPI endpoints.
