Following NeuroFlow’s acquisition of owl.health, I have continued to support the platform’s operations and feature development, ensuring a seamless transition and ongoing innovation for the mental health insights platform.Key achievements:* Maintained and enhanced the owl.health application, ensuring reliability and scalability under the NeuroFlow brand.* Built a Docker Compose environment leveraging LocalStack Pro to simulate the full application stack locally, facilitating efficient testing and debugging of complex interactions between microservices.* Refactored Terraform configurations for three interdependent Lambda functions to improve maintainability and ensure seamless interaction via S3, SQS, DynamoDB, and events.* Strengthened the platform’s infrastructure and security, ensuring the system continues to meet the high standards expected by NeuroFlow's stakeholders.My role at NeuroFlow demonstrates a strong commitment to operational excellence, technical innovation, and ensuring the success of mission-critical systems.

As a Senior Software Engineer, I played a key role in modernizing and enhancing the owl.health platform, focusing on full-stack PHP development in Laravel and legacy Symfony frameworks.Key achievements:* Facilitated the migration from a monolithic EC2 server with Nginx virtual hosting to a Kubernetes infrastructure, assigning each tenant domain to a specific namespace within the cluster.* Refactored repositories to optimize team workflows: separated Vue.js history for the UI team, unified Symfony and Lumen application histories for the API team, and developed a Docker builder project to streamline versioned image creation and deployment to ECR for EKS.* Addressed legacy dependencies tied to outdated PHP versions by replacing command-line integrations with HTTP communications between Kubernetes containers, enabling secure operation of legacy PHP while planning for a full migration.* Resolved widespread unit and integration test failures, implemented automated testing pipelines with GitHub Actions, introduced LocalStack for simulating SQS queue behavior, and created robust end-to-end tests.* Contributed to critical feature development, including: - A "home" screen redesign with new API endpoints. - Integration with customer EHR systems for "flowsheets" functionality via Redox. - Development of a PDF service for generating and sharing electronic client charts.Throughout my tenure, I combined technical expertise, strategic planning, and a focus on quality to enhance the platform's scalability, reliability, and user experience.
