What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build reliable AWS backend systems and neural speech experiences, improve production latency and quality, and own end-to-end automation with CI/CD, monitoring, and scalable event-driven architectures.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of experience designing distributed systems and cloud-native platforms on AWS. I’ve built neural text-to-speech and speech synthesis solutions powered by Amazon Polly, combining AI model workflows with reliable, automated deployment infrastructure.

At Amazon, I architected and optimized backend services using AWS Lambda, S3, EC2, API Gateway, and event-driven systems with EventBridge, SQS, SNS, and Step Functions to handle high-volume voice generation requests across regions. I improved synthesis quality by fine-tuning neural vocoder models with TensorFlow and PyTorch and used SageMaker to evaluate performance and drive multilingual pipelines. I also strengthened operational excellence through monitoring with CloudWatch/X-Ray, reduced SynthesizeSpeech latency using CloudFront and Aurora, and built real-time engineering tools with React.js, Redux, and AWS AppSync.
