Designed and owned backend services enabling secure device-to-cloud communication, isolated from real-time robotic control paths. Led end-to-end PKI and certificate lifecycle management, including TPM-backed CSR orchestration, certificate rotation, validation, and resilient distribution pipelines. Built stateful backend systems for remote troubleshooting by modeling expected versus actual device states, enabling corrective actions without impacting live procedures. Designed hybrid data and log collection workflows supporting both cloud-based uploads and on-prem deployments for hospitals with restricted connectivity. Improved system reliability by separating build and release pipelines, ensuring QA validated immutable artifacts. Removed legacy security risks by eliminating plaintext secrets and introducing deployment-time encryption with scoped runtime decryption. Collaborated across embedded systems, security, infrastructure, QA, and operations teams to design and deliver highly reliable backend systems for safety-critical medical environments.

Jun 20195 yrs 5 mosOct 2024

Led backend engineering initiatives supporting a global fleet of 5,000+ connected surgical platforms operating under strict regulatory and reliability requirements. Developed secure remote communication services using custom RPC protocols over encrypted WebSocket channels for telemetry collection and remote diagnostics. Automated the SSL certificate lifecycle, including TPM-backed CSR orchestration and PKI integration, eliminating manual certificate provisioning workflows. Architected stateful troubleshooting workflows that enabled remote diagnostics without interrupting active surgical procedures. Improved platform security by removing plaintext secrets from deployment workflows using runtime-scoped encryption and secure credential management practices. Collaborated across cloud, firmware, infrastructure, and platform engineering teams to deliver highly reliable backend systems for safety-critical medical environments.
