  • As an experienced Engineering Leader at Amazon, I have led initiatives to enhance technological frameworks and improve operational efficiencies. My key achievements include:
  • Scalable Data Infrastructure & Operational Excellence: Architected and deployed a highly scalable Elasticsearch data store for a retail brand normalization service, supporting over 100 seller central teams. Successfully transitioned from a single-box Lucene solution to a robust Elasticsearch cluster, achieving 100% uptime and over 99% availability, significantly reducing operational overhead and cutting operational tickets from 121 to 1 annually.
  • Speech Recognition Enhancements & Model Optimization: Led a strategic initiative to standardize tokenizer usage across Alexa's speech recognition neural network models. This involved comprehensive evaluations and the replacement of outdated tokenizers with optimized alternatives, reducing the Word Error Rate (WERR) by 8.33%. Implemented a benchmarking framework to ensure continuous validation of tokenizer performance and coordinated the synchronization and deployment of updated tokenizers across 12 global marketplaces.
  • Key Skills: Java, Python, Scala, SQL, Git, CI/CD, Linux, REST API development, and extensive AWS Services expertise including Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, Redshift, S3, Lambda, and more. Proficient in Spark/Map-Reduce/EMR.
