# Dmitri A. > Software Engineer - Remote Location: Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/dmitri (semper remotus) fully remote floats my boats. I have been involved in tech either as a student, an intern, a freelancer or an employee for about 15 years. I work primarily in the UNIX/LINUX ecosystems, within which I have developed programs in Python, JavaScript, Java, Scala, Perl, C++, C and several other languages. I usually work as part of an agile development team committing to git and continuously deploying containerized services as part of a CI/CD pipeline with a biweekly software release schedule. I have primarily worked on projects in computer networking, systems programming, data engineering, data science, web development (mostly backend, some frontend), machine learning, modeling and simulation. I have developed, deployed and operationally maintained many of these projects in containerised, in-cloud, development and production environments. When you ask for trust, you prove that you do not deserve it. If you fake it till you make it, then you'll make it as a faker. So, I don't. I do what I can with what I've got and I'm entirely shameless in admitting when what I've got isn't what's required or when I'll need to pick up something new to be of value. ## Work Experience ### Senior Lead Software Engineer - Health Platforms @ Elevance Health Jan 2022 – Present | Remote (*) Developing the Health Operating System (HOS) Clinical Intelligence Assistant, a Large Language Model (LLM) agent built with a custom in-house implementation within the LangChain framework, featuring formatted outputs and custom tool calling. The agent is integrated with our data access tools via a custom-deployed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This MCP server, built with Uvicorn and FastAPI, exposes a suite of tools defined by an OpenAPI specification to securely initialize the agent's capabilities. Together, these services form a chat API that provides clinicians and case managers with an intelligent synthesis tool, enabling conversational analysis of individual or groups of patients to derive critical insights. The implementation utilizes Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide the LLM with secure, guarded access to relevant patient documents. (*) Developed Heath Operating System (HOS) Total Member View (TMV) middleware (MW). The service orchestrates extract-transform-load (ETL) data processing on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) data sources. The processed, aggregated, and re-marshaled data is served through JSON API calls to the user-facing React frontend. Total Member View facilitates the aggregation and filtering of patient and clinical data for convenient access by case managers. ### Freelance Software Engineer @ Toptal Jan 2017 – Jan 2024 | Remote Freelance software engineer in association with the Toptal talent network.
