• As a Sr. Engineer at Amazon, I support four engineering managers across the US and UK and mentor over 50 engineers across multiple teams. I led the adoption of a crux rule for Infrastructure as Code reviews that helps engineers proactively catch critical misconfigurations during development. This change has significantly reduced manual rework, saved engineering hours, and improved overall reliability while cutting down operational costs.
• I review all Ruby, Python, and Bash code for my teams to ensure it meets standards for scalability, security, and long-term maintainability. I also introduced Agile and Scrum practices to improve delivery efficiency and collaboration, earning support from both engineers and managers.
• To support knowledge sharing and reduce ramp-up time, I regularly write and maintain internal wiki documentation. I'm also part of the on-call rotation, where I help resolve high-impact incidents and drive root cause analysis across distributed systems.
• I lead and host technical talks for both internal and external teams, creating space for shared learning, breaking down silos, and driving continuous improvement across organizations.
