Lead Software Engineer at Octdaily — connecting 20,000+ Skilled Nursing Facilities across the US into a FHIR R4 data warehouse, building QAPI & CMS 5-Star Rating dashboards, shipping an Agentic Medical Director AI, and training 100+ engineers in Cursor + Claude workflows.

01 / About
Engineering healthcare interoperability at scale
9+ years building enterprise systems — now operating at national scale: 20,000+ US SNFs, QAPI compliance, CMS 5-Star automation, Agentic Medical Director AI, and FHIR R4 microservice EMRs.
QAPI & CMS 5-Star Platform
Real-time QAPI compliance dashboards and automated CMS 5-Star Rating engine covering Health Inspections, Staffing (PBJ), and Quality Measures (MDS) for 20,000+ US SNFs.
Agentic Medical Director
LLM-powered AI agent (Claude + GPT-4o) that autonomously monitors facility dashboards, flags at-risk residents, generates QAPI improvement plans, and drafts CMS regulatory responses 24/7.
FHIR R4 Data Warehouse
Azure Health Data Services FHIR lake ingesting HL7 v2 ADT/ORU/MDS from 20K+ facilities — unified FHIR APIs powering 10+ internal EMR micro-apps.
Microservice EMR Platform
.NET 8 + Angular 17 Module Federation: Patient Demographics, Clinical Notes, Medications, Lab Results, Care Coordination — each an independently deployable micro-frontend + API.
The story so far
Currently Lead Software Engineer at Octdaily (Jul 2024 – Present), operating at national scale — federating 20,000+ Skilled Nursing Facilities across the United States into a single FHIR R4 data warehouse on Azure Health Data Services, enabling unified patient data exchange across every care setting.
Built the QAPI compliance platform and CMS 5-Star Rating engine — automating ingestion and computation of all three CMS rating pillars (Health Inspections, Staffing via PBJ, Quality Measures via MDS), with predictive risk scoring and facility benchmarking. Also shipped an Agentic Medical Director — a Claude + GPT-4o agent that autonomously monitors every facility dashboard, flags at-risk residents, generates improvement plans, and drafts CMS regulatory responses around the clock.
Beyond clinical systems, I designed agentic AI development workflows using Cursor and Claude, training 100+ engineers to use AI coding agents for daily tasks — cutting delivery time by ~40% and PR rework by 60%.

Work History
A chronological journey through enterprise-scale engineering challenges
Lead Software Engineer
- Architected a national-scale healthcare data warehouse federating 20,000+ Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) across the United States — ingesting HL7 v2 ADT, ORU, and MDS 3.0 feeds into a unified Azure Health Data Services FHIR R4 lake, enabling real-time cross-facility patient data access.
- Built the QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement) compliance platform — a real-time dashboard that surfaces quality metrics, tracks PDSA improvement cycles, monitors infection control, rehospitalisation rates, and incident trends across all 20K+ facilities in a single pane of glass.
- Engineered the CMS 5-Star Quality Rating engine — automated ingestion and computation of all three rating pillars (Health Inspections, Staffing via PBJ data, Quality Measures via MDS assessments), surfacing predictive risk scores and facility benchmarking against state and national averages.
- Designed and shipped an Agentic Medical Director — an LLM-powered AI agent (Claude + GPT-4o) that autonomously monitors facility clinical dashboards, identifies at-risk residents, generates actionable QAPI recommendations, drafts regulatory response letters, and escalates compliance alerts 24/7.
- Designed and shipped a full FHIR R4 API platform (Azure Health Data Services + .NET 8) serving 10+ internal EMR micro-applications — covering Patient, Encounter, Observation, MedicationRequest, Condition, DiagnosticReport, CarePlan, and CareTeam resources.
- Built a modular, microservice EMR where every clinical domain (Patient Demographics, Clinical Notes, Medications, Lab Results, Care Coordination, Billing, ADT Events) is an independently deployable .NET 8 Web API paired with an Angular 17 micro-frontend via Module Federation.
- Integrated with Athena Health (REST + Webhook), eClinicalWorks (SOAP/FHIR), Epic (SMART on FHIR R4), and PointClickCare (HL7 ADT/ORU/MDS), normalising all sources into a canonical FHIR R4 representation with full tenant isolation.
- Enforced HIPAA technical safeguards: PHI encryption via Azure Key Vault, SMART on FHIR scopes with Azure AD B2C, audit logging to Azure Monitor, and CMS-9115-F compliance for Patient Access and Provider Directory APIs.
- Trained and mentored 100+ engineers in agentic AI-assisted development — Cursor IDE, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cline, and Windsurf workflows — cutting average feature delivery time by ~40% and reducing PR rework by 60%.
Lead Fullstack Engineer
- Architected a real-time freight rate platform connecting 85+ shipping lines, airlines, and transport carriers including MAERSK, HAPAG-LLOYD, CMA-CGM, APL, and WAN-HAI.
- Migrated core system from .NET Core 2 → .NET 8 Web API, applying microservice architecture, Service Fabric, and Azure Functions for scalable compute.
- Built comparison analysis engine with multi-variable filters and AI-powered quote generation, enabling B2B carrier/forwarder/shipper transactions.
- Integrated with accounting platforms (QuickBooks, Odoo) and 30+ carrier APIs via EDI and synchronous pipelines.
- Data stack: Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Cosmos DB, Azure AI Document Intelligence.
- Frontend: Angular (Material + Ant Design), TypeScript, Elastic Search for real-time freight tracking.
Senior Software Consultant
- Led Etisalat CRM D365 implementation — built multiple sales pipelines, centralized multi-channel D365 flows, and integrated CloudTalk Sales 365 CRM.
- Delivered UAE State Bank web-based banking system with secure D365 module integrations.
- Implemented SEARates for DPWorld — full data engineering on Azure Synapse for real-time freight calculation and interactive cargo tracking maps.
- Leveraged Cosmos DB for dynamic freight booking data and Azure Databricks for advanced analytics.
Engineer
- Corcentric Source-to-Pay: Migrated VB.NET/ASP Classic legacy SAAS to modern .NET stack, implemented EDI integration, XML-based AP/AR standards, and Azure OCR for e-invoice scanning.
- Developed ETL pipelines for custom Excel/document formats; introduced SignalR for real-time push notifications and queued background processes.
- SafetyCulture: Built customisable n-level conditional Form Builder (Angular Dynamic Forms + .NET Core) powering mobile inspection workflows for on-ground safety teams.
- Casolve: Azure Databricks + Synapse for immigration case management; AI Document Intelligence for varied document extraction.
Software Engineer
- Developed enterprise ASP.NET Web Forms applications and background queued services for time-intensive operations.
- Designed and implemented business rule engines, ETL processes for diverse Excel formats.
- Worked across C#, ADO.NET, SQL Server 2012, JavaScript, and Razor templating.
