• I led the geographically distributed AWS Resource Explorer data plane team, responsible for an inventory search engine indexing billions of AWS resources using Java and OpenSearch. I grew the team from 6 to 9 engineers and helped improve delivery speed while working through complex, inherited architecture. In 6 months, I launched 3 major features, including the ListResources API, which allows customers to query their AWS resource inventory. The service delivered low-latency, highly available search across regions. I also strengthened operations by reducing incidents through automation and smarter alerting.
