  • Transaction Risk Management Systems (TRMS)
  • TRMS is Amazon’s fraud-detection and abuse prevention platform that prevents misuse of Amazon.com retail website services by malicious actions. The platform handles traffic for all the orders that are placed in every Amazon.com locale - which is roughly 12 million orders a day or over 360 million orders a month.
  • Prevent inventory-hold abuse by sellers by integrating a real time inference model for evaluating false order cancellations. The system is part of evaluation of over 2 million orders on Amazon.in website daily.
  • Led the design and development of the backend services that gather data in realtime to use as features for evaluation of customer orders
  • Worked with stakeholders in multiple regions to enable integration of this new abuse prevention feature directly into Amazon.com's website order pipeline
  • The new service direcltly led to over 70% reduction (estimated) of inventory-hold abuse seen on the Amazon.in website, which accounted for upto 20,000 orders a day.

  • Designed and built a new data aggregation and feature engineering system used in machine learning models for automated investigations (e.g., Deep Neural Networks, Random Forests)
  • Simplified feature variable calculation by replacing a legacy system with a new application built on an internal data aggregation platform (Java, Spring)
  • The new system reduced the time required to create features by 90%, significantly increasing the velocity of new feature development
  • Successfully deprecated the legacy application in favor of the new solution, improving maintainability and scalability of the feature pipeline
  • Optimized backend service infrastructure usage by vertically scaling the fleet for feature calculation service which decreased overall service latency and increased performance
  • Additionally, tuned the service configuration for compute to save up to 40% on infrastructure cost (approx $300k per month or $2.4million annually)
  • Led development of an internal platform to support novel e-cash transactions and prevent cashback abuse on AmazonPay Wallet (India)
  • Designed and implemented backend services and web interfaces for detecting and investigating duplicate customer accounts exploiting cashback offers (Java, Spring, RPC, SoA architecture)
  • Built the website and backend service integrating with Amazon wallet payment services to support new e-cash transaction flows
  • Developed frontend components of the investigation portal, used daily by hundreds of investigators (JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, JSP Servlets)
