About

I’m an Engineering Manager at Amazon with 10+ years of experience building and scaling distributed systems and leading high-performing engineering teams. Currently, I lead teams in AWS Lambda’s data plane, working on critical front-door infrastructure and services that enables handling Lambda function invocations at massive scale with extreme reliability and performance constraints. Previously, I’ve built large-scale recommendation systems driving millions of customer engagements, including building training and inference infrastructure for serving relevant product recommendations at scale. I’ve also worked on blending organic and (Ads) sponsored recommendations, and on building and launching LLM-generated recommendation content at Amazon retail scale. Beyond the technology, I spend a lot of time mentoring engineers—helping them grow into leadership, think in systems, and navigate career growth at scale.
