Open to Team Lead & Solutions Architect roles

Masood Bhat.
.NET, Azure & AI-assisted engineering.

I'm an Associate Team Lead who designs .NET and Azure systems for healthcare and commerce, and helps engineering teams ship with AI without lowering the bar on correctness.

In 8+ years I've synchronised 100,000+ patient records across HIPAA-compliant integrations, cut server costs by 30%, and architected an EHR platform that reached 92% provider adoption.

Today I'm leading my team's adoption of Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and Codex, backed by a written policy, a 15-module curriculum and a reference application that proves the workflow.

I started in 2015 in Srinagar, building ASP.NET MVC sites and writing a foreach loop for everything. Then I found LINQ, and it changed how I think: describe what you want, and let the code read like the intent.

Most of my career since has been in healthcare. I architected Invaryant, an HL7-based Electronic Health Record platform for a US client, and later connected three separate healthcare portals to it while keeping every flow HIPAA-compliant. That work taught me to care about the boring parts: role-based access, data contracts, audit trails, and what happens on the 100,000th record.

In 2026 I moved into leading a team, right as AI started writing a large share of our code. AI-generated code tends to look clean, and clean code is no longer proof of correct code. So I wrote our AI-assisted development policy, built a curriculum around verification, and shipped a full application with Claude Code to show the team where review agents earn their keep. They caught six real bugs that a human reviewer would have waved through.

Outside the codebase, I run a commercial ultra-high-density apple orchard in Pampore. Farming and software reward the same habit: measure first, then change one thing at a time.

What I do

Four things teams bring me in for

AI-assisted engineering enablement

I set up Claude Code, Copilot and Codex so they make a team faster without making it sloppier: project instructions, custom Skills, MCP integrations, review subagents, and a usage policy people actually follow.

  • Claude Code
  • CLAUDE.md
  • Skills & MCP
  • Review subagents
  • AI policy

.NET backend architecture

APIs that stay readable as they grow. I use CQRS with MediatR and Vertical Slice Architecture so each feature lives in one place, and I tune the data layer for cost and latency.

  • .NET 10
  • ASP.NET Core
  • CQRS / MediatR
  • Vertical Slices
  • EF Core

Healthcare system integration

HL7 data flows, role-based authentication and HIPAA-compliant synchronisation between EHRs and patient portals, built for data you can't afford to get wrong.

  • HL7
  • HIPAA
  • EHR
  • RBAC
  • SOC2

Azure delivery & CI/CD

From commit to production on Azure with one pipeline: App Service for APIs, Static Web Apps for the front end, Azure SQL, and GitHub Actions gluing it together.

  • Azure App Service
  • Static Web Apps
  • Azure SQL
  • GitHub Actions
  • Docker
Selected work

Three projects, told as Situation, Task, Action, Result

2026 · Mindfire Solutions · Internal reference build

TaskFlow

Full-stack project management platform built end-to-end with Claude Code

SSituation

My team was starting to use AI coding tools daily, with no shared rules and no evidence of whether AI-written code could hold up in production.

TTask

Build a realistic reference application entirely with Claude Code, and use it to show the team a safe, repeatable workflow.

AAction

  • .NET 10 Minimal APIs with MediatR, EF Core and FluentValidation; React 18, TypeScript, TanStack Router/Query
  • CLAUDE.md project rules, custom Skills and multi-agent review subagents
  • One GitHub Actions pipeline to Azure App Service, Static Web Apps and Azure SQL

RResult

  • Review agents caught 6 production-grade bugs before release, including a TOCTOU race condition and a regex vulnerability
  • Presented to ~50 engineers
  • Became the capstone of a 15-module curriculum
  • .NET 10
  • MediatR
  • EF Core
  • React 18
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind
  • JWT
  • Azure
2019 – 2026 · QSS Technosoft → Mindfire Solutions · US healthcare client

Invaryant EHR & portal integration

HL7-based Electronic Health Record platform, later connected to three patient portals

SSituation

A US healthcare client needed an Electronic Health Record system, and later had three separate portals holding patient data that had to stay consistent with it.

TTask

Architect the EHR, then integrate all three portals with it under HIPAA, without losing or corrupting records.

AAction

  • ASP.NET Core Web API and React with role-based authentication
  • HL7-based data flows between EHR and portals
  • Azure AI Cognitive Services, Bot Service and LUIS for assisted workflows

RResult

  • 92% adoption among healthcare providers
  • 100,000+ patient records synchronised across 3 portals
  • Led to my promotion to Associate Team Lead
  • ASP.NET Core
  • React
  • HL7
  • HIPAA
  • Azure Cognitive Services
  • LUIS

API platform re-architecture

Moving a growing platform to a scalable, API-centric infrastructure

SSituation

As usage grew, the platform's hosting bill and response times were climbing together.

TTask

Rework the backend so it scaled with load while costing less to run and responding faster.

AAction

  • Restructured services around clean RESTful APIs on .NET Core
  • Built reusable components shared across projects
  • Mentored junior developers through code reviews during the rollout

RResult

  • 30% lower server costs
  • 50% faster application response time across the platform
  • .NET Core
  • REST
  • Azure
  • SQL Server
E-commerce
