  • Amazon’s Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) organization builds technology to safeguard the health, compliance, and well-being of associates across global operations.

  • I manage engineering teams delivering data-intensive, GenAI-augmented safety platforms, including entitlement systems, ergonomic assessment tools, and leadership scoring dashboards.
  • These platforms ingest millions of records and combine LLMs, semantic search, and telemetry-driven insights to detect safety risks, surface documentation gaps, and support regulatory decisions.
  • I own the full lifecycle—vision, architecture, delivery, and operational excellence.
  • Key outcomes include migrating legacy systems to serverless architectures, redesigning entitlement workflows, and embedding generative AI into WHS programs, leading to 97% accuracy in decision support.
  • I also drive org-wide engineering excellence: GenAI QA strategy, scalable telemetry onboarding, performance testing frameworks, mentorship, and design doc quality.
  • As a culture leader, I’ve led Hackverse, revamped R&R programs, and conducted 100+ bar-raising interviews across SDE/QAE roles.
