  • During my internship at Amazon, I had the opportunity to work with the team responsible for launching the first Bill Payment category, specifically Prepaid Recharges. My main project involved building a new internal service from scratch to streamline and support the team’s operational processes. This service was later scaled to enable the BizOps team to effectively manage telecom operator downtimes. Through this experience, I gained valuable skills in service design, scaling operations, and cross-functional teamwork.
