Software Development
Engineer II @ Amazon
4+ years.
I build and own financially critical systems at Amazon scale — billions in licensed asset management automated, billions in payment risk mitigated, and pipelines whose journal entries flow directly into Amazon's quarterly earnings reports. Zero major incidents. I drive multi-org initiatives from blank page to production, catch security gaps the external red team missed, and deliver 30× performance improvements on inherited broken systems.

Flagship Projects
Four examples of the scope, depth, and judgment I operate at.
UEL Cap Automation — $7.66B scope
Owned the full technical design and delivery of an amortisation cap enforcement system touching 122,000+ run-of-series licences across 5 currencies. Coordinated Accounting, Acquire, Cost Allocator, and PM teams across organisations with VP-level visibility (tracked in Matthias's Asana).
Outcome
$7.66B in licensed asset value now managed automatically; zero major incidents post-launch.
L6 Signal
Ambiguous, org-wide problem → clear design doc → on-time delivery with full stakeholder alignment.
India SVOD Iceberg — Worldwide First, $1.6B risk
Designed and delivered the first-ever India SVOD payment pipeline through Amazon's Iceberg system. Worked directly with Prime Video Business, Finance, Legal, and Accounting teams across time zones.
Outcome
Eliminated ~3,500 manual processing hours; $1.6B in payment risk now correctly managed.
L6 Signal
Cross-org initiative with no playbook — drove it from blank page to production.
Security Bug — Found What the Red Team Missed
During TRAM Access Control Enhancement, identified a product-line-specific edit access vulnerability that the FORI OS Red Team (external security audit) had not caught. Proactively flagged and fixed; acknowledged by VP-level Accounting leadership.
Outcome
Security gap closed before it reached production; trust established with senior leadership.
L6 Signal
Ownership beyond scope, security judgment, and proactive stakeholder communication.
A3P3 Lambda — 30× Performance
Inherited a broken reconciliation alarm (failing since August 2024). Diagnosed root cause: 448 DB round-trips per run. Refactored to batch queries and migrated to Redshift SPECTRUM.
Outcome
Runtime reduced from 3 hours to 6 minutes — a 30× improvement.
L6 Signal
No one asked — took it on, fixed the underlying architecture, not just the symptom.
Amazon Leadership Principles — Evidence
Every claim is anchored to a named artefact or outcome.
Customer Obsession
Won Q4 2024 + Q1 2025 FinSys Empty Chair Award; released TRAM Access Control ahead of schedule for accounting stakeholders.
Ownership
Drove UEL Cap solo while team lead was OOO; owned Sev-2 response for 188 delayed partner payments (37 contracts, 182 resolved).
Invent & Simplify
Built automated email notifications for amortisation template changes on own initiative — no one asked.
Are Right, A Lot
Pushed back on SNS/Salesforce integration proposal — identified 2/3 of fields were missing or wrong before external team set the wrong direction; wrote full technical assessment.
Dive Deep
Diagnosed Hibernate flush-order race condition only visible outside debug mode; diagnosed n+1 join outage; traced Redshift IAM + DATASHARE → SPECTRUM migration path.
Deliver Results
Exceeds High Bar performance rating; 250 code changes + 504K LOC in 2025; all major projects shipped on time.
Raise the Bar
Certified Amazon interviewer (6+ loops); selected as FinSys AI Bar Raiser to drive AI-Native adoption across the team.

What I'm Looking For
