Hi, I'm
Building innovative solutions at Amazon while capturing the world through my lens.
Software engineer · GenAI enthusiast · Hackathon winner · Photographer · Problem solver
With persistence and perseverance, small things make it BIG. I'm a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon with 12+ years of experience building scalable systems. I work on advertisement optimization and rendering engines serving over 1.1 trillion impressions annually worldwide.
My work spans machine-learning pipelines, distributed systems, and high-scale infrastructure. Beyond coding, I'm an IEEE-published researcher in ML-based network security, and a photography enthusiast capturing moments as ISerialClicker.
12+years
From embedded firmware to trillion-impression ad rendering — distributed systems, ML pipelines, and the occasional security paper.
AI-powered tool reducing manual configuration time from 2 hours to 2 minutes.
Tackled the challenge of translating natural-language requirements into complex system configurations using prompt engineering and iterative refinement.
Distributed calculation system processing millions of real-time pricing decisions.
Solved challenges around eventual consistency, idempotency, and traffic spikes during peak events like Prime Day. Built on DynamoDB + Lambda with SQS dead-letter handling.
Multi-region launch for a new international market.
Led the technical design for launching services in a new market. Navigated regional compliance, data residency requirements, and adapting systems to different business rules.
MCP server implementing human-like cognitive architecture for AI reasoning.
Mimics biological cognitive processes through dual-process thinking, working memory, emotional processing, and metacognitive monitoring — giving AI agents richer, more transparent reasoning chains.
Toolkit for AI agents to follow best practices through structured specifications.
Comprehensive toolkit for AI agents to follow best practices through structured specifications, intelligent context detection, and automated validation. Provides modular instruction systems and enterprise-ready architecture for reliable AI agent workflows.
Hierarchical task management accessible via MCP, REST, and web UI.
Hierarchical task-management system designed for both humans and AI agents. Supports PostgreSQL and filesystem backends, enabling seamless task coordination across AI-assisted workflows.
