Curriculum VitaeSyed Usama Bukhari

Software Engineer & Data Science Researcher building scalable, healthcare-oriented solutions.

Professional Summary

Software Engineer with experience building data-intensive, healthcare-oriented applications across backend, web, and data engineering stacks. I have shipped production features using Laravel, .NET, modern JavaScript frameworks, and Python, and have hands-on project experience in Java. I am actively strengthening my skills in the Java ecosystem (JavaSE, Vaadin, Spring Boot) through hospital and Portable Health Clinic (PHC)–related projects. At SocialTech Lab, Kyushu University, I work on ETL pipelines (Airflow, dbt, Snowflake), FHIR-based interoperability, and analytics for real-world clinical data. I am currently researching trajectory-aware polypharmacy patients using Retrieval Augmented Generation within learning health systems (LHS), with a focus on delivering scalable, interoperable, and clinician-friendly solutions.

    Data Engineer

    Addo AI

    Data Engineer contributing to a large-scale legacy-system migration for an enterprise banking client — moving an Oracle Analytics Server / OBIEE reporting estate of roughly 1,600 reports onto Teradata and Tableau, while continuing PhD research in explainable clinical AI in parallel.

    • Engineered a metadata-driven consolidation framework — separating shared base views from per-report macros — that cut overall migration scope by more than 25% while preserving exact result-set equivalence for every report.
    • Built a Python-based generation pipeline that parses legacy SQL, extracts projection and predicate metadata, and auto-emits Teradata views, macros, and validation scripts at scale.
    • Designed and ran an equivalence-testing protocol — row-count and column-level checksum comparisons — to certify migration correctness ahead of cutover sign-off.
    • Identified and corrected a critical shared-predicate error in a report cluster that would have silently altered results across multiple downstream reports.
