Building full-stack systems for Amazon Global Logistics — freight payments, seller-facing React portals, and external APIs powering Amazon's international supply chain. - Thrives in new domains — picks up languages, frameworks, and systems fast and ships with confidence. Consistently delivered time-critical features aligned to peak season and launch deadlines. Contributed to 60+ packages spanning React frontends, backend services, and cloud infrastructure. - Designed a reusable data streaming framework adopted by 3 teams, reducing data export onboarding from ~2 weeks to 1–2 days and enabling customers to access analytics via Data Kiosk. - Led external API refinement for a booking platform consumed by 5 supply chain businesses — drove alignment across Principal Engineers, a Senior PE, and product leads from each business. Performed user analysis, market research, and industry benchmarking to deliver extensible payment and booking models. - Architected the billing system to introduce a split-shipment distribution program — compensating transactions, failure recovery, and cross-service contracts — enabling 26.6% reduction in per-container inbound costs. - Implemented cross-region infrastructure migration for payment services — DynamoDB re-routing, service instantiation, and data sync across 17 tables. -Led air freight re-launch for payments — 683K+ units confirmed in first 10 weeks with 96.7% SLA reliability. - Independently unblocked a 6-month launch blocker that bounced across 4 teams — root-caused a state management bug in an undocumented away-team codebase. - Established full CI/CD for 3 pipelines - migrated tests to Fargate, fixed memory leaks - Regular on-call for production services - debugging and fixing Sev-2s across team boundaries, root-cause analysis, and improving runbooks. - Mentored interns through full project lifecycles from design to launch, and contributed to hiring. - Recognized with Awesome Amazonian award for consistent delivery and impact.

Remote

(Google Explore CS Research Internship) Worked under the guidance of Dr Jyothi Vedurada Worked on representation learning for source code using graph neural networks and transformer-based models for programming languages. Explored Java code snippet embeddings, AST/path-based representations, graph kernels, and code-language models including CodeBERT and Code2Vec. Built foundational understanding of GNN architectures, graph analytics, and ML pipelines for code understanding tasks using PyTorch Geometric.
