I joined Amazon as an intern in 2017 and returned to Checkout full-time in 2018. I progressed from Software Engineer I to II, then Senior Software Engineer in 2022. My work grew from building individual checkout components to leading architecture and delivery across multiple teams. Today I set technical direction across the Checkout organization and still build core systems myself. The systems I build and own handle over a million requests a second and serve hundreds of millions of customers daily.
Experience
Amazon · Senior Software Engineer
October 2022–present
I have led Checkout’s AI engineering work since 2025, with organization-wide scope since 2026.
Engineering agents. Designed and built durable workflows for maintenance tasks such as removing expired feature flags. Each task is validated against an operating procedure and runs as a state machine that records each step, so stalled or failed agent runs can resume without repeating completed work. Outputs are evaluated before merge. Built MCP tooling over purchase-journey data and service logs, with caching and query limits to protect production systems.
Add to Delivery. Set the Checkout architecture and led execution across 20+ engineers in four organizations. Connected delivery data, checkout services, and the customer-facing experience. Later led the expansion to five European marketplaces, working with Product, UX, and Legal on the experience and its requirements.
Java microservices migration. Led 30+ engineers through a multi-year migration from a monolith to Java microservices, largely completed in 2025. Designed core APIs and plugin interfaces, ran platform experiments, and coordinated rollout while dependent teams continued shipping.
Checkout resilience. Reshaping the resilience roadmap around the customer’s ability to complete a purchase, including fallback data and experiences when dependencies fail.
Customer-experience (CX) federation. Built a rendering-layer federation prototype that became a funded org program. Backend federation is already in place; this separate program extends team ownership to the customer-facing rendering layer. The goal is for partner teams to ship experience changes as independently owned packages with their own test pipelines. Production rollout is still ahead.
Performance and traffic controls. Designed checkout bot defenses using rate limiting and actor fingerprinting. Reduced infrastructure overhead through log-volume optimization, heap analysis, and CPU profiling.
Technical leadership and operations
Review architecture designs and 800+ code changes a year across a 50+ engineer organization. Resolve design disagreements and guide implementation and launch decisions.
Lead operational excellence work and handle high-level technical escalations across Checkout, including production reliability, performance, and peak-event readiness.
Led checkout changes across international marketplaces for Brexit, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and India marketplace regulations. Adapted UI, APIs, and data handling with tax and compliance teams.
Designed the latency measurement framework for the platform migration and a modular framework separating front-end rendering from back-end data operations.
Prepared checkout systems for Prime Day and Black Friday through load, stress, and chaos testing, then automated those tests for future peak events.
Reworked onboarding and ran daily office hours as 15+ new engineers joined the team.
Amazon · Software Engineer I
July 2018–July 2020
Extended the base chaos-testing framework, adapted it for Amazon Checkout, and integrated it into CI/CD.
Built client-side event protection for one-click checkout and coordinated adoption across 24 partner teams.
Built a plugin-based internationalization framework for language and currency formatting across all marketplaces.
Amazon · Software Engineer Intern
May–August 2017
Designed and shipped a reusable one-click purchase component proof of concept for integration across shopping pages.
