Worked as a tech lead on a critical, highly available and real-time positional data streaming service for Amazon's half a million fleet of robots, with multi-million dollar entitlement.I joined this team when it was newly formed and helped establish processes to improve agility as well as influence the technical roadmap.Contributions include establishing process from prototyping to productionizing machine learning based estimation projects in this space. This involves authoring an experimentation framework for A/B testing travel and ETA algorithms, which reduced time to launch new features by 50%.

I worked on a multi-year project to automate retail ad targeting by generating machine learning based customer segments, which reduced a week's worth of marketer's efforts to a few clicks.Contributions include developing API and its backend workflow for generating batch ML inference on large customer behavior datasets. I also helped increase the adoption of automated targeting program by simplifying customer's onboarding process to the ML ecosystem.

Worked in customer behavior analytics space to influence marketing by providing querying and predictive analytics engine on tera-byte scale data.I was challenged to improve the team's compute spend; I designed and delivered a "search" query optimization feature which resulted in 80% compute efficiency and $200K annualized savings on the Hadoop cluster.I also built a general purpose workflow to validate the output of most data processing workflows, which was eventually adopted by 2 other teams.

Worked as a lead on android app development used by drivers to submit a proof-of-delivery of packages.

India

Worked on Programmable Logic Controllers used to control operations of compressors in oil refineries.As I started observing repetitive and manual patterns in PLC software generation, I developed a meta software to accept the well defined project specifications and automate PLC code generation. This boosted productivity by at least 30%.Visited client site in Germany and helped eliminate manual touchpoints in their purchase-order documentation.
