Senior Software Engineer at Carefeed. I own the backend integration architecture across 9+ external EHR and healthcare platforms (Epic, PointClickCare, MatrixCare): data exchange, webhook infrastructure, PDF/OCR pipelines for hundreds of facilities, and the identity and auth layer behind a multi-tenant SaaS platform. PHP and Laravel are my primary production stack.
Before Carefeed: API and integration infrastructure at legal-tech (nQ Zebraworks) and behavioral-health (Sensible Care) SaaS. Seven years of shipping production backends where a wrong record is a real-world problem, not a failed unit test.
laravel-outbox — Transactional outbox for Laravel. Domain events are persisted atomically with the data that produced them, so a committed write and its event can never disagree.
This is where my side work concentrates: the infrastructure around an LLM, not the model itself. The LLM is the easy part. The interesting work is everything around it.
imara — Runtime governance proxy for the Model Context Protocol. Intercepts every tool call, evaluates it against YAML policy (allow, deny, rate-limit, escalate), and records every decision to a tamper-evident, SHA-256 hash-chained audit log (genesis-anchored, with truncation detection). Published on npm. Composes with Mavryn.
mavryn — MCP gateway. Proxies many upstream MCP servers behind a single endpoint, with tool namespacing, semantic search across tools, policy, and a hash-chained audit trail. Where Imara governs one server's calls, Mavryn routes across many. They are two layers of the same stack.
prior-auth-assistant — A HIPAA-shaped reference architecture for healthcare AI. Postgres row-level security, field-level PHI encryption, HMAC-chained audit, prompt-injection hardening, and magic-byte upload validation wrapped around a Claude OCR and extraction pipeline. 99 tests, CI against SQLite and Postgres.
aether — AI-agent runtime with hardware-level isolation via Firecracker microVMs, distributed scheduling, multi-tenant RBAC, and Kubernetes and Terraform deployment. Around 48K lines of Go. Beta.
PhotoPare — Privacy-first iOS app built on Apple's Vision framework: duplicate, blur, and screenshot cleanup, fully on-device, no tracking. On the App Store with a one-time unlock.
