Mid-level Software Engineer specializing in cloud platforms and AI-integrated full-stack development

Seattle, WA3y exp

“Backend engineer who built Flask-based internal APIs supporting GenAI-driven provisioning/diagnostics (Outpost/AWS Outposts-like environment), with deep hands-on optimization across Postgres/SQLAlchemy (2s to <200ms endpoint improvement). Experienced integrating ML/LLM workflows via AWS SageMaker and Bedrock, and designing multi-tenant isolation plus high-throughput Redis-backed background task pipelines (minutes to seconds).”

Mid-Level Software Engineer specializing in distributed backend systems and cloud-native microservices

Seattle, WA5y exp

“Software engineer focused on data platforms and applied LLM systems: built an internal data quality monitoring layer to catch silent data drift and iterated post-launch after finding ~30% false-positive alerts, reducing noise via dynamic baselines and improved structured logging. Also shipped a production RAG-based internal knowledge assistant over Jira/Confluence with citations, confidence-based fallbacks, and nightly automated evals to prevent regressions.”

“Built a production GenAI support agent at Amazon for FBA on-call operations, using Bedrock, Lambda, RAG, and confidence-based human fallback to safely automate ticket triage. The system materially reduced ticket volume and manual workload while improving MTTR, showing strong depth in reliable LLM agent architecture under real operational constraints.”

“Amazon experience integrating LLM-powered chat automation into Amazon Connect contact-center workflows, taking prototypes to production with compliance-minded guardrails, schema/policy validation, and robust fallbacks. Regularly supports rollout and adoption via developer workshops, integration guides, and customer calls, with strong production triage and observability practices.”

“Backend engineer with experience at Amazon building an API-driven service (APS) for large-scale prompt optimization jobs using AWS Step Functions, Batch/Fargate, DynamoDB, and S3, emphasizing idempotency, observability, and secure execution boundaries. Also led a multi-tenant enterprise policy/configuration backend refactor at MAMIT Cyber with versioned schemas, shadow writes, feature-flagged rollout, and PostgreSQL RLS-based tenant isolation.”
