Experience
Impact over years.
Senior Data Engineer
Amazon· Seattle, WA- Self-Service Data Operations Platform — designed and built a full-stack, event-driven platform that reduced data-operations turnaround by 99%, from 2–3 days to under 15 minutes. React and Cloudscape frontend; Python serverless backend; Step Functions orchestration; DynamoDB configuration store.
- Cohort Provisioning Platform — designed and built a serverless API gateway, Python SDK/CLI, and AWS infrastructure stack that reduced provisioning effort from approximately 8 hours to seconds and enabled growth from 40 to more than 500 cohorts. Implemented OAuth2, multi-region routing, circuit breakers, canary deployments, and three global stacks.
- Owned architecture, DevOps, platform engineering, and full-stack delivery across these platforms — including CI/CD pipelines, CloudFormation infrastructure-as-code, and production operations.

Key platforms — expand for detail
▸Agentic AI Execution PlatformShowcased
A production platform for building and operating AI agents with LangGraph and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore (Runtime, Gateway, Memory, and OpenTelemetry). It supports interactive, autonomous, and supervised human-in-the-loop agents, with multiple agents live and serving customers. Showcased at internal Tech Summit and DevCon.
- Multiple agents are already live and serving customers in production.
- Built three agent modalities — Interactive, Autonomous, and Supervised (human-in-the-loop) agents — on a single unified execution platform.
- Production RAG with semantic chunking, hybrid retrieval, re-ranking and source attribution over S3-backed vector stores.
- Multiple Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extensible, pluggable tool access across agents.
- Full CI/CD pipelines and CloudFormation infrastructure-as-code throughout the delivery lifecycle.
