My experience at PowerSchool involved leading critical engineering initiatives that transformed our technical landscape. • Successfully migrated legacy ETL workflows to AWS Step Functions, significantly improving processing speed. • Designed scalable DynamoDB entities to adapt to evolving application requirements without redesign. • Enhanced deployment processes, empowering developers to independently manage production changes through serverless infrastructure. • Developed an orchestrator, a serverless AI pipeline using TypeScript, AWS CDK, Step Functions, ECS Fargate, and SQS that polls Jira, dispatches AI coding agents, validates output (build/lint/test + cross-model review), and creates GitHub PRs autonomously. Architected across five CDK stacks (Network → Storage → Compute → Orchestrator → Monitoring) with CloudWatch dashboards and DLQ-based failure handling.
