[SDE I @ AMAZON]

I build backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered products. Sometimes I make tiny internet things just because I think they're fun.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER I

AMAZON
  • Strengthened environment isolation for four service tenants spanning 28 AWS Regions by designing and implementing Gamma/Production account separation.
  • Led deprecation of a legacy data-replication system across 100+ hosts and clusters in two cloud partitions, migrating workloads from DynamoDB Streams to PostgreSQL and reducing related on-call tickets by 60%.
  • Remediated 15+ production security findings, including WebSocket Origin validation, secure management of CSRF-signing secrets, sensitive-data redaction, and standardized security headers.
  • Drove service onboarding across two AWS Regions, navigating undocumented deployment paths, resolving cross-service dependencies, and reducing subsequent onboarding time from ~4 weeks to 2.

A LITTLE CONTEXT

about.txt

[ READ ME ]

I'm a software engineer who likes understanding how things work underneath the abstraction.

Currently building cloud infrastructure at Amazon. Outside work, I tend to build small systems that solve oddly specific problems, experiment with AI, or make websites that look like they escaped from the early internet.

I like backend engineering, databases, distributed systems, developer tooling, and making complicated things feel simple.
