Nov 2019 - Present: Content Analysis and Translation for Amazon's internal case management system. * Integrated translation into the investigation widgets to improve hiring flexibility while refactoring our client-facing service to facilitate adding new, non-case-related use cases* Redesigned our case translation database to be client-agnostic as part of a partner team's database migration effort. Influenced the partner team's approach to limit customer impact. March 2016 - November 2019: New Business Innovations for Fine Art, Collectibles and Handmade categories* Migrated the Fine Art tech stack to the Home category: I had to determine requirements, convince the Home team to let us migrate to their stack, design the approach and implement it.* Designed and implemented a search widget to improve visibility of Handmade products. With no onboarding support I investigated the Search team's widget system in order to integrate and implement a viable solution; I became a go-to person for other teams at Amazon for integrating with the Search team's systems. Jan 2014 - March 2016: High-TPS backend orchestration layer of the Listing Feeds system that enables Sellers and internal clients to manage their listings in bulk. This layer serves multiple purposes including throttling, maintaining merchant fairness of system resources, no-oping to conserve downstream TPS, and managing update order for correctness.* Designed and implemented an Oracle to DynamoDB database migration which also included incorporating a partner team's backward-incompatible API migration. * Collaborated overseas with three other teams to launch feature support for vendors on the p0 for Amazon's Listings rearchitecture initiative. * Designed and implemented a tool that reduced the time required for an oncall to investigate and address why feeds were backlogging from 1 week to 1 hour.* Designed and implemented error no-oping to conserve downstream TPS within the confines of our current system.
