  • At Amazon Pay, I played a key role in scaling the Rewards platform to support diverse use cases including Instant Discounts, Cashback, and Coupons. I was responsible for designing and developing backend services that delivered high availability, seamless integrations with multiple payment instruments, and a consistent customer experience across touchpoints.
  • A major highlight of my time here was building the technical architecture that enabled Rewards to evolve from a pure acquisition lever into a powerful advertising product. This pivot required deep collaboration across product, marketing, and engineering teams, as well as rethinking the system design to support real-time personalization, campaign flexibility, and advertiser-facing capabilities.
  • Key contributions:
  • Designed scalable backend services supporting high-volume reward issuance and redemption flows
  • Led integration efforts with multiple payment instruments (UPI, card, wallet, etc.)
  • Architected platform evolution from offer delivery to monetised ad product
  • Ensured system reliability, low-latency performance, and extensibility for future use cases

  • In this role, I architected and delivered the Inaccurate Data Framework, a foundational system that empowers Amazon to identify, prioritize, and resolve customer-reported data quality issues at scale. This end-to-end platform collects feedback through various channels, leverages machine learning for noise cancellation, and uses business-critical parameters to prioritize issues that most impact customer satisfaction.
  • The system also provides operational tooling to enable fast, accurate resolution—closing the loop between customers, algorithms, and internal teams. It continues to play a key role in maintaining the trustworthiness and quality of product data across the Amazon ecosystem.
  • Key contributions:
  • Designed and built a scalable framework for real-time data quality feedback ingestion
  • Integrated ML models to filter noise and surface high-signal insights
  • Developed a prioritization engine driven by customer impact metrics
  • Built operational tools for efficient triaging and resolution by partner teams
  • Drove cross-team collaboration with catalog, ML, and ops to ensure adoption and measurable outcomes
