Launch Operations Software Engineer II
Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper)
November 2024 - Present
- Founding Software Engineer: Joined as the sole developer for Launch Operations; scaled the team from 2 to 8 engineers by demonstrating the mission-critical impact of automated health-check and tracking systems.
- Pipeline Infrastructure: Designed and built the software suite for satellite integrity verification and routine power maintenance, managing the end-to-end flow of assets through the launch processing lifecycle.
- Operational Resilience: Developed and deployed rapid mitigation procedures for launch-site anomalies and hardware and software escapements, ensuring high-cadence readiness for a 7,736-satellite constellation.
- Agentic AI Infrastructure and Tooling: Architected foundational AI tooling using Claude models on Amazon Bedrock and S3 vector database RAG pipelines to accelerate operational workloads; built custom agent integrations (modular codebase steering rules, automated workflows, and domain SOPs) to drive higher code quality, comprehensive documentation, and instant customer triage across Launch Operations.
Software Development Engineer II
Amazon AGI
October 2023 - November 2024
- Foundation Model Deployment: Deployed developmental multi-modal LLMs to production across globally containerized hosting environments (AWS EKS/ECS) to drive worldwide testing and the commercial release of the Amazon Nova model family.
- Training & Inference Infrastructure: Developed and scaled backend infrastructure for multi-modal inference, high-throughput pre-training data processing, and runtime operations under rapid regional traffic expansion.
- GPU & Neuron Telemetry: Architected metric aggregation and monitoring microservices to track GPU and AWS Neuron hardware utilization and optimize computational efficiency and hosting cost across model interactions.
- LLM Inspection & Visualization: Implemented a full-stack visualization platform for complex multi-turn LLM interactions to accelerate model development for AI scientists and engineers; selected as a live executive demo for the Amazon S-Team.
Software Development Engineer
Amazon Alexa
February 2022 - October 2023
- Model Deployment Microservices: Supported and scaled core internal microservices enabling the automated development, optimization, and production deployment of new Alexa ML models to consumer devices worldwide.
Software Development Engineer Intern
Amazon Alexa
Summer 2020 and 2021
- Cloud Migration Pipeline (2021): Executed a large-scale migration of Alexa functionality records from legacy internal datastores to AWS, architecting access patterns across S3, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, and Lambda.
- Performance Testing Microservice (2020): Developed a dedicated internal microservice to dynamically manage and provision configuration files for rigorous performance bench-testing across developmental Alexa models.
