• Building and scaling Python-based pipelines to generate and process insurance claims on behalf of providers
• Developing EHR integrations to ingest, normalize, and validate healthcare data from multiple vendors
• Designing provider payment and reimbursement workflows to ensure accurate, timely payouts
• Automating patient support and internal operational workflows to reduce manual intervention
• Refactoring existing backend systems to improve reliability, observability, and scalability
