Software Engineer

Jan 2015 – Jan 2018 · 3 yrs · Seattle, WA

Lead a team of engineers in creating a framework for music services used to serve Amazon Music on the Alexa platform.
Own delivery of team projects, helping set the overall direction, writing code needed to deliver the project and providing feedback on code written by other engineers on the team.
Projects:
Designed the model to allow a separation of responsibilities of one service into several smaller “Voice Experience” services; led a team to build out one such service. This separation enabled the voice development org to more than double in size without stunting the productivity per developer. As a result, the org launched 8 new big features in Q4 2017, with many more to follow in 2018.
Worked on a team, contributing features such as playback by recency, date, lyrics, and song name, and address various bugs in the Amazon Music Voice service, which became an industry-disrupting music streaming service on the Alexa Voice platform.
