Projected savings of 20k+ hours per year. (Python, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, Athena, Step Functions, netmiko) Telemetry Engineering Build a service that would collect network availability and performance metrics (total connection time, ttfb, dns lookup, etc…) across all Amazon Fulfillment Centers for early alarming in case of issues and historical deep dives into performance. Service indexed 2300+ TPS of metrics for downstream analysis. (ECS Fargate, Docker, NLB, Python, Java, Kinesis, DynamoDB, S3, Athena) Other Duties: - Engaged with stakeholders to define roadmap goals and break it down into milestones for the team. - Tracked implementation and advised POs and PMs - Mentored other engineers and interns on operational excellence, code quality, design documents - Managed several fully automated continuous deployment pipelines across multiple regions / products - Managed all infrastructure as code (AWS CDK) - Was part of OnCall rotation and responded to production issues Show less Self Healing Team Build a platform for Network Development Engineers to automate response to network issues at Fulfillment Centers.

GSA: eBuy Tech Refresh - Lead an agile team of about six to rewrite an existing government procurement system from Java struts to Angular 6. Developing key architectural patterns and standards for the team to follow. Communicated roadmap, progress and risks to stakeholders. Additionally, implemented Continuous Integration / Deployment pipeline using Karma/Protractor, Jenkins and Ansible. (Angular, Python, Redis, Java, Nginx, RHEL) Advantage Analytics - Lead an agile team of 4 in building a new system that captured user activity from GSA Advantage in real time through Kafka, enriched the data and indexed into Elastic for visualization/retrieval. Data was used for reporting / analytics to learn more about customer behavior as well as fed into other systems such as Product Recommendations Engine. (Java, Python, Apache Kafka, Apache Solr, Elasticsearch, Kibana, RHEL) Product Recommendations - Developed a system that recommended products to users based on their activity and historical analytics data. (Solr, Python, RHEL) Image Cleanup - Developed, deployed and managed an internal crowd sourced initiative to improve product image quality of products sold on Advantage. Built a system that used Machine Learning (SciKit Learn) to analyze vendor submitted product images and pick the best one. A specialized front end was developed for human verifiers to quickly confirm / reject the images and propagate changes instantly to production. Access was distributed to everyone within the organization to help with image verification and over a span of 6 months, over 100,000 products had much better images.
