Currently serving as an Engineering Leader, I play a key role in managing critical aspects of our team, from handling promotions, hiring, and performance evaluations to addressing voluntary and involuntary attrition and fostering career growth. My leadership style is all about breaking new ground, and it reflects in how I've revitalized areas like Deep Learning Amazon Machine Images (DLAMI), Deep Learning Containers (DLC), Kernel libraries, and AWS-optimized ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX. I'm proud to have pioneered the establishment and rapid growth of our Deep Learning products, focusing on essential principles like currency, security, quality, performance, and observability.Key Accomplishments:►Accomplished 11X growth for Deep Learning product usage from Q2-2021 to Q4-2023.►Supported efficiency initiative aimed at slashing infra CapEx by 70% from 2021 to 2023 through implementation of automation, unbundling strategies, and enhancements in hardware resource utilization across products.►Guided career growth of other engineering leaders, software engineers spanning various seniority levels, technical program managers (TPM) and product managers (PM).►Led team expansion 4X from Q2-2021 to Q1-2022 into variety of roles (SDE, TPM, PM) distributed across US.►Steered development and introduction of AWS's premier partner products through collaborations with industry heavyweights like HuggingFace (Deep Learning Containers), Stability.ai (Stable Diffusion Deep Learning Containers), Nvidia, Google, Meta, Qualcomm (AI100), and Habana Gaudi (SynapseAI - deep learning AMI and containers), creating far-reaching network with 1200+ enterprise customers.►Introduced and executed launch of cutting-edge product offerings while establishing new engineering teams dedicated to AWS-optimized PyTorch and JAX.

As a Senior Principal Engineer for CX Cloud, I took charge of critical responsibilities, managing platform patching policies, overseeing pod upgrades, and orchestrating the deployment of patch bundles. My leadership extended into talent management for Oracle Sales and Service (CX) Cloud, where I initiated the development of a comprehensive hiring framework tailored for CX DevOps/SRE roles. Throughout this journey, I meticulously administered hiring processes, conducted performance evaluations, and navigated both voluntary and involuntary separations with precision and expertise.Key Accomplishments:► Propelled launch of new observability product adopted by CRM's top German customers, resulting in remarkable 75% reduction in latency within 8 months.►Directed advancements in customer pod update and app performance by 50% through progress of ML models for predictive analytics and headed automation of 90% of bundle build/delivery workflows.►As an Engineering Manager on CX (Customer Experience) Cloud, I supervised sales and service operations and directing global team of 18, including 2 engineering managers.►Sustained cross-organization internal DEV tools, including patch manager, release dashboard, fleet manager, and Slack-integrated chat-bots along with various process frameworks (backport, post-repo) utilized by CTO, VPs, and 70+ product teams across Oracle CX Cloud.►Offered continuous efforts as Tech Lead for OCI-based Spectra (cloud-native apps) platform infrastructure automation while overseeing Patch bundle builder and environment automation.

Pioneering the way forward, I conceptualized and designed solutions addressing the intricate needs of formulary and Medicare Part D multi-tier rule sets. Taking it a step further, I executed strategic optimizations, significantly elevating the system's functionality and responsiveness to new heights.Key Accomplishments:► Achieved 30% boost in systemic performance for legacy PBM applications, particularly within pharmacy rules engine.►Played vital part in NDC/GPI (drug codes) reclassification process, enhancing efficiency of pharmaceutical data management.►Devoted continuous efforts as Senior Engineer on Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) product and focused on critical components, such as Rules Engine, Rxbuilder for formulary management, and RxClaim for pharmacy claims processing.

At the forefront of innovation, I directed the creation of a scalable engineering system, embraced by other teams, facilitating the seamless migration of plan summary and group summary modules from existing 401K databases to FileNet. This endeavor not only achieved its intended goal but also set a benchmark for organizational efficiency. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in the development of Great West's groundbreaking E-communication system, contributing as a key Backend Developer to its success.Key Accomplishments:►Attained impressive first-go test case success rate of 92%, ensuring seamless delivery of statements, documents, notices, letters, and confirms to customers' 401K plan participants.►Planned and implemented fault-tolerant and high-performing system with first-go test case success rate of 97%, archiving old statements data from 401K image database to flat files on scalable systems. ►Contributed to generating substantial improvement in archival performance by 60%, along with noteworthy 45% annual budget savings on FileNet licensing costs.

Steering initiatives with precision, I led efforts encompassing remittance advice, claim status reporting (fed codes: 835/277), Oracle DB upgrade, and the seamless management of 1099-tax ID changes. Further demonstrating my commitment to operational efficiency, I orchestrated the automation of production financial cycle runs. This strategic move resulted in significant resource savings, equivalent to one full-time engineer effort annually.Key Accomplishments:►Overhauled HP's comprehensive managed-care solution for Florida Medicaid System as Lead Developer while rewriting legacy code for 55%+ performance boost and 40% infra-cost savings. ►Constructed and employed claims adjudication system for seamless integration of ICD10, successfully limiting reported defects to below 30 in first year on scale of 4M Claims Per Cycle.
