Anish Shrestha

Sr. Engineer at the intersection of Healthcare, Data Insfrastructure, and Software Development    

Software Engineer by training, Sr. Data Engineer by trade. I build API-driven systems and Spark-optimized pipelines for industries where data integrity is a matter of life, death, or bottom-line stability.

Why Me

What I bring to the table

Regulated Industry Depth

Years operating inside healthcare and clinical data environments where accuracy isn't aspirational — it's a legal and ethical requirement. I understand HIPAA constraints, audit trails, and the consequences of bad data later in Revenue Cycle Management.

Full-Stack Data Engineering

From REST API design and ingestion pipelines to Spark transformations and warehouse modeling — I own the entire data path. No handoff gaps, no finger-pointing between teams, just end-to-end ownership.

Production-Grade, Not Prototype-Grade

I've shipped systems that run daily against real patient data and financial records. My code is written to be observed, debugged, and maintained by a team — not just to pass a demo.

Teaching Instinct

A background in teaching sharpened how I communicate complex systems — to engineers, to stakeholders, and in code. Good documentation and clear architecture decisions aren't afterthoughts for me. I have mentored 8 Engineers and 2 IT professionals in my career.
