Aj Jwair is a Senior Engineering Manager at Sumo Logic at Sumo Logic. He possess expertise in c++, python, distributed systems, java, cloud computing and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "AJ was my engineering counterpart at Cruise for a critical, highly cross-functional initiative in facility automation. We started off the project with a lot of unknowns and incredible complexity. From the beginning, AJ never shied away from collaborating closely with product to identify the best path forward for our customers. AJ brought the clarity and rapid execution required to accelerate our progress. He is any PM's ideal engineering partner. His willingness to do the right thing and collaborate closely with all required stakeholders makes him such an asset to any company. I look forward to working closely with AJ again!", "I hired AJ at Cruise and had the pleasure to work with him closely as his manager. AJ is quite a passionate and experienced manager, genuinely curious about building high functioning teams. He is respectful, engaged, very technical, and very open to feedback and improving himself. He still managed to find time to code to improve his team's local development with Bazel, which I really appreciated. At Cruise, he built and staffed the In-Facility Navigation team at Cruise in 2023, delivering automated ingress and egress of our Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) that unlocked higher scale for our facilities through reducing headcount to AV ratio at facilities in San Francisco. This was a difficult cross-functional effort without clear requirements, and AJ was able to navigate the project and even act as a TPM for the program at times. After the shutdown of Cruise services in San Francisco in October 2023, AJ and I worked together to re-charter the team and focus our efforts on building the next platform for supply/demand optimization of the marketplace, and AJ managed a new "Marketplace Foundations" team, building the foundational services that deliver strong consistency and high availability for running optimization engines, storing state machines, as well as a flexible geo-indexed querying service to enable horizontal scalability of our optimization engines. His team was able to deliver their H1 milestones on time and with no issues. Unfortunately, in June 2024, we had to downsize the group due to budget constraints, and AJ's role was impacted. However, I would hire him again immediately if we open up new EM roles. I am proud of the work AJ has done at Cruise, and look forward to working with him again in the future.", and "AJ is top 5, probably top 3 on the list of folks I would hire again. When a particular major project was going off the rails in Q1 of 2021, AJ is who we brought in to get the team and project sorted, and he did."
