I have over eight years of experience working at Amazon, specializing in leading engineering teams that build large-scale data processing systems, AI infrastructure, and cloud-native data platforms and services. My expertise lies in creating secure, scalable, and highly available systems to support Amazon's various offerings.

One of my most significant accomplishments at Amazon is leading the technological innovation behind the Buy with Prime (BwP) initiative. This program extends Prime benefits to third-party online stores, enhancing the shopping experience for U.S. Prime members and supporting small and medium-sized businesses. In my role, I implement new technologies, optimize product recommendation systems, and streamline API integration.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence and innovation. I have earned several awards, including first place at Amazon's Machine Learning Hackathon for developing a machine-learning model for product substitutions. Additionally, I have received multiple On the Spot Awards for exceptional performance.

As an active technology community member, I contribute to IEEE, ACM, and BCS, where I discuss emerging trends and share insights on software engineering and API integration. Furthermore, my contributions to the BwP initiative have been featured in major media outlets such as CNBC, Yahoo, and BNN Bloomberg, significantly improving hosted checkout and e-commerce integration.

As a technical speaker, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and insights, and I look forward to contributing to conferences and events.
