Based in San Diego, CA (US). Contact: hmpham317443@gmail.com ## Field of Work I build fast and build right. Over 3 years at startups, I have taken AI products, data pipelines, and fullstack apps from zero to production, serving hundreds of users. I pick up new tools quickly, write code that scales, and care about the craft. ### Focus Areas - Fullstack Development - AI Integration - Conversational Agents - Data Pipelines - Mobile Apps - Cloud Infrastructure - Developer Tools - RAG Systems - API Design ### Stacks TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, Go, FastAPI, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Docker, Tailwind CSS, Google Cloud Platform, Redis, Git, Figma. ## Work History ### CheckRx - Founding Software Engineer Mar 2024 - Present | San Diego, CA Building Medicare Intelligence from Zero. CheckRx is a Medicare intelligence platform I helped build from scratch as a founding engineer. We started with data pipelines and APIs, then layered on agent tools, a CRM, a voice AI assistant, and a senior-facing conversational product. The team is 5 people (3 engineers), the platform serves 500+ insurance agents, and we handle 50,000+ daily queries. Everything runs on a shared data layer: normalized CMS data, RAG pipelines, and provider/plan APIs that every product consumes.
