Senior Software Engineer @PDS Health

Irvine, CA, US

Led the architectural and technical design as a two-engineer team, launching a business critical, complex scheduling product from conception to production, now serving users (4,100 monthly) on a Rust, GraphQL, and React stack.• Contributed to a metadata-driven backend framework (YAML/CSV → Rust/SQL/GraphQL codegen), where schemas, CTE-based queries, and seed SQL are generated from declarative configs—dramatically accelerating schema evolution and reducing boilerplate.• Designed, built, and shipped a fullstack scheduling platform in 9 months that handles tens of thousands of schedules, supports role-based access control, and reduces operational workflow times by 80%+.• Architected and shipped a Rust based sync service using procedural macros and a custom semantic-matching DSL to map complex FHIR-like MongoDB documents to normalized SQL tables—safely syncing 100k+ documents into PostgreSQL via Kafka consumers and direct DB pipelines to establish a single source of truth.• Built a reusable GraphQL filter engine used across the application that composes nested filters, sorting, and pagination into type-safe JSON structures eliminating repetitive query wiring and enabling highly composable filtering on the frontend.• Collaborating with the security team to implement a full-stack OIDC/PKCE authentication flow in Rust and TypeScript to strengthen platform security and user authorization.• Providing guidance on Jira points estimations and React best practices on the development team.• Replaced Redux with a Jotai + Apollo state architecture, enabling complex UI interactions, reducing global state complexity, and significantly increasing team development velocity.• Designed and built advanced scheduling UX features such as drag-and-drop personnel assignment, calendar filtering, time-range conflict checks, and role-aware views surfacing availability constraints directly in the calendar experience.
