Summary
George Hernandez is a Lead Full Stack Engineer based in Chicago with 9 years of formal experience and over two decades of hands-on software work spanning startups and healthcare enterprises. He blends full-stack development, DevOps, and data engineering across AWS, Azure, and GCP, delivering production systems from React frontends and Python Lambdas to Redshift-backed analytics and Tableau visualizations. As a founder and former Chief of Applications at a healthcare registry, he architected core SQL Server schemas, led DevOps/SysOps/Data teams, and achieved ONC CEHRT certification while driving dramatic ETL cost reductions via serverless redesign. Comfortable switching between hands-on coding and policy-level security roles (HIPAA, ISO, NIST), he brings a pragmatism that balances risk management with rapid shipping. Notably, his early career work included building an OLAP web app before modern JS libraries existed—an early signal of his ability to innovate across evolving stacks.
