Curriculum Vitae

Software Developer II — AWS

Jan 2022 – Aug 2025

Worked at the EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) team, extending the k8s ecosystem. Developed EKS Local, a EKS offering for edge computing via AWS Outposts. As a developer, I researched, designed and launched different communication mechanisms to allow persitent TCP connections across unreliable networks. I also worked with EKS's credential handling ecosystem, researching, designing and developing the EKS Auth Agent. All of the new services were creating using AWS, Golang, Java, Python C, and containers.

During my time at EKS, I did plenty of low-level research and coding including traffic proxying (eBPF, iptables), network protocols (QUIC, HTTP/3), and Linux namespaces/cgroups for resource management.

Software Developer I & II — Amazon Tax

Sept 2019 – Jan 2022

Worked in Amazon's Internal Tax Engine supporting millions of product classifications for taxation purposes. Supported and delivered new and old large-scale distributed systems features. Designed and implemented solutions using large-scale ETL technologies such as Spark, EMR, Glue, Presto/Athena. Supported internal tools written in React/Bootstrap, Scala, Java and Kotlin.

• Optimized table reads/writes on a Tier-1 service by migrating it to a new schema. Leading to a 40% read reduction, 10% write reduction, and 85% table size reduction. Resource usage was also reduced by $500,000/yr
• Optimized internal pipelines of Tier-1 services to become Full CI/CD through multiple testing techniques including shadow testing, integration testing, canaries and chaos testing.
• Designed and implemented a new scheduling mechanism to create internal work units for human classifiers. During this project, I created and consulted with business partners to create intuitive dashboards using React/Bootstrap and D3.js. On the backend, the service used Athena, Glue, and Step Functions to create a serverless architecture.
