problem
A regulated healthcare domain needs services that are independently deployable, integrate cleanly, and keep sensitive data handled with care.
approach
I work across a polyglot microservices backend — owning several services end-to-end, from data model and API design through tests and deployment — with gRPC for service-to-service calls, Kafka for event-driven workflows, and Kubernetes for orchestration.
outcome
In production. (Internal details are under NDA, so this is kept intentionally high-level.)

- gRPCTyped, schema-first contracts between services across multiple languages.
- KafkaEvent-driven, decoupled services — producers and consumers evolve independently.
- KubernetesMany languages, one deployment surface; isolation and rolling deploys per service.
