During my tenure as an Engineer at Amazon, I executed instrument qualifications (IQ, OQ) for a high-capacity COVID-19 testing laboratory, capable of processing 40,000 samples daily through next-generation sequencing (NGS). I implemented process enhancements resulting in a 37% increase in throughput and a reduction in cycle time. Moreover, I defined and documented business requirements for seamless integration of instruments with a cutting-edge Laboratory Information Management Software System. Additionally, I spearheaded the software testing strategy for robust in-lab quality assurance. My role at Amazon involved optimizing processes and ensuring efficiency in a dynamic laboratory environment.
