Summary
Sal Becker is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and leading engineering teams in startup healthcare environments, currently at Assembly in New York.

Sal has a track record of improving delivery through Agile practices, founding and running web guilds, and architecting integrations with electronic medical records and billing systems. He excels at diagnosing distributed-system issues, designing reliability improvements and data pipelines, and turning complex clinical workflows into production-ready software.
