Software Development Engineer II
About
With over four years of expertise at Amazon Web Services, I am working to enhance cloud solutions as a Software Development Engineer II. At AWS, I leverage my skills in API documentation and databases to innovate and streamline services. Previously, as a Software Development Engineer I, I contributed to the development of object-oriented programming practices that elevated project outcomes. My mission aligns with AWS's commitment to building resilient and efficient cloud infrastructures. As a passionate divemaster, I bring a unique perspective to problem-solving, embodying persistence and attention to detail, which are vital in both underwater exploration and software development. The core competencies honed through these experiences strengthen our organization's culture and drive continuous improvement in our field.

Software Development Engineer II
Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Managed Streaming for Kafka Connect
Santa Monica, CA
Architected an end-to-end GenAI investigation platform (AWS Bedrock + Strands, 7 agents) that auto-investigates API failures, workflow failures, and latency regressions across 306 production accounts — cutting investigation time from ~120 minutes to ~2 minutes and automating ~6 dev-years of operational work. Led multiple cost-reduction workstreams across Kubernetes-native observability infrastructure and EC2 instance allocation, delivering significant realized annual savings with additional workstreams in progress. Led a team of engineers designing an automated patching and migration system replacing manual fleet-wide operations — improving customer visibility, operator controls, and connector uptime. Built the team's GenAI infrastructure from scratch (MCP server, agent runtime, CDK hosting) — adopted by multiple AWS teams beyond MSK Connect. Served as ASBX AI Champion.
