Amazon•  March 2020 - August 2023

Software Development Engineer II at Amazon — March 2020 – August 2023 In the Search team, I delivered a new, rich search experience where I: - kept latency low by considering trade-offs in implementation options while supporting 40,000 requests per second - implemented data refinement steps in Python to uphold a high standard of data quality - developed a new UI experience and dataset following an "away team" model, gathering requirements from partner teams. Later, when working with Whole Foods, I completed an end-to-end migration of a Java/Sprint Boot web service into AWS where I: - documented my design choices including the trade-offs I considered and the data to support my decisions - containerized the app and used ECS for compute, VPC Private Links for connectivity to other dependencies, S3, CloudWatch, and DynamoDB - utilized CDK in TypeScript to model infrastructure in code - completed security and architecture review for the application - implemented build automation and CI/CD (where before there was none) - improved unit test coverage to meet new organization's standards - published incremental code reviews, applied feedback from coworkers and static analyzers.
