Professional Experience
My journey in the tech industry, working with innovative companies and building impactful solutions.
Software Engineering Intern, Tablet Launcher Team
Amazon — Seattle, WA
Developed AI-powered tools and infrastructure for internal teams, focusing on automation and efficiency improvements through machine learning integration.
Key Achievements:
Designed and built an AI-powered Jira bug root cause analyzer, integrating Jira with Amazon Q (LLM) to cut bug triage time by up to 50% through automated analysis and fix suggestions
Engineered a multi-stage AI pipeline (bug parsing, historical issue retrieval, root cause analysis) that achieved 90–95% accuracy in predicting likely fixes across real-world tickets
Implemented secure authentication using AWS Secrets Manager, replacing legacy token methods and improving adoption and security across multiple teams
Identified and resolved a critical MCP bug that prevented proper Jira tool visibility, directly enabling broader usage across the org
Extended MCP server capabilities by building a Jira attachments integration, unlocking AI-powered log and media analysis for faster debugging and root cause identification
