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

Octdaily

Lead Software Engineer

Jul 2024 – Present
Remote / Karachi, Pakistan
Current
  • 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%.
