Who I am

About Me

I'm a Software Engineer II at Amazon with over 6 years of experience designing, building, and scaling distributed systems that serve millions of users. My current home is the Grocery Subscriptions team, where I've led initiatives that span multiple microservices and touch every layer of the stack — from backend APIs in Java and Spring Boot to React-powered frontends.

I care deeply about system design and technical ownership. Some of my proudest work includes architecting an upsell engine that grew subscriber acquisitions by over 1,500%, driving legal compliance features under real regulatory deadlines, and automating marketing workflows that saved teams 16+ hours every month.

Beyond the code, I enjoy mentoring — I've guided interns from first design review all the way through stakeholder demos, and a few of those interns have gone on to receive full-time offers. I believe the best engineering happens when teams learn together.

When I'm not deep in a design doc or a PR review, I'm interested in LLMs, generative AI, and how AI-powered tooling is reshaping software development. I'm actively exploring how modern ML capabilities can be applied to real product problems.

Where I've worked

Experience

Amazon

Software Engineer II · Grocery Subscriptions
  • Architected the Interstitial Upsell engine spanning 7+ microservices, growing subscriber acquisitions from 11K to 181K per month — +1,545% — with a 10% conversion rate. This single initiative contributes $10.7MM in annualized revenue.
  • Designed end-to-end architecture for the Enhanced Grocery Subscription Landing Page, integrating a dynamic content framework and coordinating three separate engineering teams for seamless brand and store widget delivery.
  • Led the full architecture redesign of the Amazon Physical Location Finder (APLF), inheriting an undocumented codebase and establishing AWS infrastructure, authentication integration, and observability systems from scratch.
  • Drove the FTC Double Opt-In compliance project — created the system design, led two engineers through implementation, and met hard regulatory deadlines while contributing as an away-team member.
  • Automated the Paid Search ad campaign workflow for US and UK markets using AWS and the Google Ads API, reducing manual team effort by 80% (16+ hours/month).
  • Mentored multiple interns through full project lifecycles — from high-level design through stakeholder approvals — resulting in successful demo deliveries and full-time hiring conversions.

Things I've built

Projects

Internal

Grocery Subscription Interstitial Upsell

Evaluated three architectural approaches to balance technical debt and delivery timeline. Built an eligibility API integration and experimentation framework that drove conversion from 0.3% to 10% — growing monthly subscriber acquisitions by over 1,545% and generating $10.7MM in annualized revenue.

Java React REST APIs A/B Testing AWS
Internal

Enhanced Grocery Subscription Landing Page

Led the full architecture redesign of Amazon's grocery subscription landing page, integrating a dynamic content framework and coordinating across three partner teams for brand and store widget delivery. Established graphical funnels for experiment measurement and ongoing iteration.
