Currently at Athenahealth
Abhay Bisht
Software engineer at Athenahealth. Previously at Travelers.
I studied Computer Science at Northeastern, with a minor in Business Administration on the side. Since graduating I've been working as a software engineer — mostly full-stack web development, with a bit of DevOps along the way.
About
I'm a software engineer, currently at Athenahealth. Before that I spent two years at Travelers, and during college I did co-ops at Smartleaf and Optum. Most of my work has been full-stack web development with some DevOps mixed in — the tools I reach for most are below.
Experience
-
Athenahealth
Software Engineer
- Contributing to tooling and services inside one of healthcare's largest cloud-based platforms.

-
Travelers
Software Engineer
- Built and maintained services inside a large enterprise engineering org, partnering with product and design to turn requirements into shippable features.
- Owned pieces of the stack end-to-end — from backend APIs and data models through the UI — with a focus on reliability and maintainability at scale.
- Collaborated across teams on code review, architecture discussions, and mentoring newer engineers joining the org.
-
Smartleaf
Software Development Co-op
- Built and refined UI components for the Advisor Portal using Ruby on Rails, the Stimulus framework, HTML, and CSS.
- Designed and implemented the error-handling workflow for an external VM connected to the application — logging, monitoring, and timeout behavior.
- Updated backend logic across the Rails codebase and evolved the schema through Rails migrations against PostgreSQL.
- Became the team's go-to person for a proprietary environment configuration tool and authored a guide on using it consistently across environments.
- Presented to the software team on application vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies, and shared weekly status in company-wide meetings.
-
Optum
Software Engineering Co-op
- Used Terraform to build and deploy infrastructure in both AWS and Azure, including an MSK cluster with an AWS Sandbox for testing.
- Stood up networking primitives in Azure (Virtual Network, Subnet, Load Balancer) alongside security protocols (Bastion, Firewall).
- Helped design and develop a centralized documentation microsite using TypeScript, Docusaurus, Yarn, and NPM.
- Wrote Jenkins pipeline templates for a variety of project types and configured the required plugins end-to-end.
- Configured a HashiCorp Vault instance alongside Jenkins and wired it into a microservice, working in an Agile workflow with lead engineers.
Projects
A few things from my time at Northeastern — some from class, some I built on my own.
-
TricKey Typing
Vehicles and a typing minigame built on top of the open-source Covey.town, shipped with a team of four.
-

A layered photo-editing application with filters, effects, and downscaling, backed by a custom Swing GUI.
