Following the success of Imaging Platform, I have been appointed to lead a team of ~15 engineers to build AWS-based platform foundation for AZ’s In Vivo domain software. This included development of several new cloud-native applications, as well as maintaining existing COTS and bespoke applications used across the domain. Newly built components include a data integration solution (featuring AWS StepFunctions, Lambda, Glue) that FAIRified data across over a dozen of very diverse data capture systems consisting of a mix of DBs, fileshares, Sharepoint sites, spreadsheets and API-based data sources, which was loaded into S3 and Snowflake database to make it available for downstream processing and analysis. I have also established a very efficient serverless intranet web application architecture pattern (based on AWS ALB, S3 and Lambda) which enabled simple and cheap deployment of several ReactJS web applications with Python and Java microservice backend. Running a proper DevOps model and strictly following TDD/BDD and other best practices ensures seamless and timely delivery of high-quality solutions, massively over-performing planned scope.

Senior Engineer for the AZ Imaging Platform. Inspired, designed, and led the development of cloud-native, 90% serverless medical imaging processing pipeline, built heavily utilising amazing big data processing solutions from AWS (including S3, Glue, Athena and Lambda). Supported integration with other systems using REST and GraphQL APIs (ApiGateway, MuleSoft), as well as via AWS Glue Data Catalog and S3. Microservice-focused platform architecture includes dozens of micro(nano)services deployed across Lambda, ECS Fargate and Glue runtimes. Particularly proud of building a fully automated CICD that supports agile on-demand releases to Prod (done bi-weekly or more frequent) by leveraging 100% end to end test coverage. This work, done over 3 years on the Platform, successfully FAIRified the company’s imaging data and opened its way to the enterprise Data Mesh.
