About

As a Senior Software Development Engineer at Amazon, I have over 15 years of experience in developing and delivering products and features that enhance the customer experience across multiple domains and services. I am passionate about building highly distributed, scalable, available, low latency, and secure applications using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and XML technologies. Currently, I am working on improving the customer's overall experience for Heavy Bulky MultiBox items and enabling Unattended Amazon Key Deliveries with Packaging Removal Service. Previously, I have contributed to the success of the Heavy Bulky and Services, Marketplace Seller Payments, and WW Customer Returns teams, by implementing business-critical features and solutions that increased customer satisfaction, retention, and revenue. I am also an active interviewer, a Bar Raiser, and a mentor at Amazon, where I help to identify, assess, and develop top talent. Outside of work, I am a foodie, a singer, a music enthusiast, and a pet lover.
