I lead the AWS SageMaker Notebooks product and business, which is at the center of AWS's Machine Learning suite of services. My team offers state-of-the-art collaborative notebooks with generative AI-powered code assistance features, to Machine Learning practitioners at small startups and large enterprises alike.

Alexa Quick Links (2020-current): I built and launched Alexa Quick Links, a keynote announcement at the Alexa Live conference in July 2020. The product introduced a brand-new way of interacting with Alexa, through buttons and links on popular apps and websites. Customers have since been able to listen to news updates from cnbc.com, track their pizza orders from dominos.com, launch recipes from the Cookpad app in Japan on their Alexa devices, play radio stations from lamusica.com and much more.Alexa Skill Store Voice Interface (2018-current): I designed, built and launched a voice-based Alexa skills interface. Skill Store is a new type of 'app store' that enables customers to find useful and interesting Alexa skills either through our visual storefront or simply by voice ("Alexa, what games do you have?", "Alexa, play Song Quiz"). I led our team's efforts to launch a first-of-its-kind voice-forward user interface (VUI) that makes it easy for customers to speak naturally to Alexa and get things done. I also spearheaded efforts to personalize skill recommendations to millions of customers, showing them the most relevant skills based on their interests.

I built Advertising products for Mobile Apps and Games at Chartboost, a Sequoia-backed startup with a customer base of over 300K mobile apps, including most top 50 grossing apps on the iOS App Store and Google Play store. Our network serves ads to over 1B users a month. As product owner, I am in charge of Ads delivery, Ad formats, performance and yield. I work with multiple engineering teams for each of these components and with engineering leaders to bring the various components together into a cohesive product. Most recently, I led the team that built Interactive/Playable ads that convert up to 50% better than traditional mobile ads. I also continue to build our Mobile Video Ads product which is used by over 90% of the top 100 grossing games on mobile app stores. I am currently helping build our Ad Exchange product for programmatic advertisers supporting industry standards like Open RTB, MRAID and VAST.

I was leading product teams for multiple mobile games that generated over $80M annual revenue and were consistently in the top charts on iOS/Android. I helped set up a highly successful live operations process for our games, that increased both revenue and user retention. Among features that I am especially proud of, I designed live battle events for Paradise Cove, thereby sustaining the game's position in the top grossing charts on iOS for over 3 years. My work formed the basis for a GDC 2014 talk by the company (links below).

At Zynga, I worked on building successful, fun social games by creating features that players love, analyzing key game metrics in-depth and having a strong intuition for things that delight our players.

At Rediff, I helped create SongBuzz, a web-based social music service. SongBuzz is the first music service that fully uses social intelligence for music discovery and search.
