Software engineer with 5 years of experience, including 4+ years at Amazon building customer-facing and platform software for Alexa Echo and Echo Show devices used by millions of customers.
I work across the stack: on-device C++ services (AVS Device SDK, embedded Linux), React Native apps in TypeScript, and device–cloud integration with AWS. I've owned features from design docs to launch and on-call.
At Amazon, I shipped the highest-traffic Settings feature on Echo Show (370K+ launches, zero feature bugs), root-caused 4 launch-blocking bugs across 3 teams to unblock a new platform framework, cut app flash by 17%, and kept CloudWatch costs ~40× lower through data-driven design trade-offs. I also build daily with AI tools like Claude Code and Kiro.
Strong in C++, data structures and algorithms, system design and object-oriented design. CodeChef 4★ (rank 148 of 30,000+), 500+ problems solved.
Open to SDE II roles in platform, systems and product engineering.
