Finetooth AnalyticsCloud Engineer

Aug. 2017 - Apr. 2020remoteImplemented AWS IAM with multi-factor authentication and role-based access control, reducing unauthorized access by 40% across over 5,000 healthcare professionals. Developed detailed IAM policies that segregated user roles based on job functions and implemented condition-based access controls that restricted usage based on IP and time, crucial for HIPAA compliance across systems managing over 10 million patient records. Directed a project at Finetooth Analytics to utilize Terraform for the swift deployment of over 1,000 AWS resources, addressing the bottleneck of time-consuming manual setups. The previous manual provisioning method was inefficient and error-prone, limiting the team's agility in managing dynamic healthcare data environments.
