Overview

Architected complete healthcare infrastructure from scratch: HIPAA-compliant cloud architecture (AWS, ERP, ETL) and enterprise network (dual-WAN, VPN, IPsec, 5+ isolated zones). Achieved 99.9% uptime with self-healing automation and zero manual intervention during failures.

Part 1: Cloud Infrastructure & Healthcare ERP

Architected HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure and healthcare data management system

What I Built

  • ▸Architected HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure with public/private subnets, ALB for high availability, and centralized secrets management
  • ▸Deployed Rocket.Chat with Docker Compose on EC2 and secured MongoDB connections with TLS
  • ▸Designed and optimized HIPAA-compliant ERP system for multi-client healthcare data management
  • ▸Built ETL pipelines and data solutions that automate invoice generation for various clients
  • ▸Implemented comprehensive logging/audit trails to S3/CloudWatch with access controls, MFA, and SSO

Part 2: Enterprise Network & Security Infrastructure

Built resilient network with dual-WAN, VPN tunnels, and self-healing automation

What I Built

  • ▸Architected EdgeRouter-12 network with dual-WAN (AT&T Fiber + FirstNet cellular), load balancing, and automatic failover
  • ▸Implemented 5+ isolated network segments: Management, General, DMZ, HIPAA-compliant ePHI zone with zone-based firewalls
  • ▸Deployed dual-layer VPN infrastructure: OpenVPN remote access (UDP 443, certificate-based auth) + IPsec site-to-site tunnel (IKEv2, AES-256)
  • ▸Developed bash automation script for self-healing infrastructure: monitors load balancer, detects WAN failover, dynamically reconfigures IPsec via Vyatta API
  • ▸Enabled secure remote access to eCW Electronic Medical Records system for clinical staff from any location
