Sunnyvale, CA20y exp

“Platform and distributed-systems leader (player-coach) who owned architecture and reliability for an Amazon analytics/data platform serving ~100K internal users at exabyte scale. Built an ML-driven “Lakeflow” optimization layer that cut pipeline completion times ~20–25% and reduced compute waste >15%, and led major incident response/redesign efforts (e.g., deletion storm) with strong rollout/observability/rollback practices.”

“Software Developer at Amazon Robotics who co-developed a congestion-aware path planning system optimizing robot routes across 23 warehouses. Built and operated a real-time, service-integrated pipeline using AWS (AppConfig, DynamoDB), Java, and Redis caching, and has hands-on experience debugging robot behavior on-site with rigorous testing and staged releases.”

“Engineering lead/player-coach at Sam's Club who drove major React Native Member Desk Returns changes (including Vision Center insurance refund flows) by coordinating Product/UX, QA, and API teams and leading a 3-engineer squad. Also led an e-commerce mobile OAuth migration, evolving a login experience from vanilla JS to a React SPA as security requirements (MFA, reCAPTCHA) emerged, and improved production reliability via better request flagging and analytics/log instrumentation.”

Senior Software Engineer specializing in AI and FinTech platforms

New York City, NY8y exp

“Built a production LLM pipeline at Walter AI that scans massive user inboxes, identifies financial newsletters, and extracts trading strategies into structured JSON for downstream paper-trading workflows. Stands out for combining agent architecture with strong production discipline—cutting scan time from 20 to 5 minutes, reducing LLM costs by 90%, and achieving 3-second P99 latency while handling messy, inconsistent email data at scale.”
