EXPERIENCE
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Nov 2021 – Jun 2025 Software Engineer Pittsburgh, PA
• Engineered a microservices-based, multi-tenant SaaS platform using Spring Cloud and Redis, and delivered 2000+ healthcare simulation classes annually at 11 satellite sites with 99.8% uptime, subscribed by leading medical centers including Johns Hopkins, MD Anderson, and UCLA.
• Implemented SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant single sign-on with Azure AD via Federation API, using OAuth for authentication and role-based access control with Redis caching for authorization, standardizing secure user access and eliminating configuration errors.
• Built an event-driven notification system using AWS Lambda, SQS, and SES for asynchronous role-based email delivery, enabling reliable message dispatch through decoupled processing and automatic failure recovery.
• Designed a fault-tolerant ETL pipeline using Spring Batch to process exam results from AWS S3, performing validated multi-table writes to MySQL via Hibernate, automating ingestion, cutting processing time from hours to minutes, and ensuring high data integrity.
• Deployed proactive monitoring using AWS CloudWatch metrics and ELK Stack log analysis, detecting 15% of latency and error issues before customer reports and reducing support tickets by 30% through early root cause resolution. Johnson & Johnson Jan 2021 – Aug 2021
Data Analyst Shanghai, China
• Collaborated with Supply Chain team on A/B tests for inventory distribution, using pandas for data preprocessing and Power BI for visualization, reducing stockouts by 10% and creating reusable dashboard templates shared as best practices with the Japan team.
• Led knowledge transfer during team transition by onboarding and training 3 employees in Agile methodologies, and creating comprehensive documentation that secured 0 operational disruptions and accelerated new leadership ramp-up within 3 weeks. PROJECTS
Prime Day E-commerce Microservices Java, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Kafka, Redis, Kubernetes, AWS
