About Fenote Berhane

Graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor\'s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Computer Engineering, I have focused my career on leveraging AWS technologies to build innovative, serverless solutions. Currently, as a Senior Application Developer at Centene, my work revolves around automating healthcare document workflows through OCR and AI-driven pipelines using AWS Textract, Bedrock, and Step Functions. My expertise lies in serverless architecture, coding standards, and cloud-based document processing, particularly in healthcare environments requiring HIPAA compliance. Collaborating with teams, I design scalable, reliable systems that address critical operational challenges while optimizing costs and improving data integrity. Motivated by innovation, I aim to push the boundaries of cloud engineering and AI-driven automation.
