I am a Staff Software Engineer with a decade of leadership at Amazon (Marketplace, Retail Hardlines, AWS DynamoDB) and most recently Staff SWE at Morgan & Morgan. Over my career, I have architected planetary-scale distributed infrastructure, invented enterprise developer tooling used across hundreds of teams, and served as an Amazon Bar Raiser evaluating talent at the highest bars.
Tangible impact from my engineering catalog:
Invented AutoCodeDoc: Solved cross-VPC networking across isolated security fabrics to automate docs from code reviews; scaled to 100+ Amazon teams, ran 6+ years in production, cut developer onboarding time by 40%, and earned a VP Yeti Award.
50TB Live Migration: Tech lead for the retail compatibility catalog ("does X fit Y?"); executed a zero-downtime migration to managed AWS (DynamoDB, Lambda), slashing p95 latency by 70%, lifting availability to 99.999%, and reclaiming a week of operational overhead per sprint.
Hiring Architecture: Conducted 200+ full-loop interviews and debriefs as an Amazon Bar Raiser (L4-L6), and authored enterprise automated screening frameworks and calibration rubrics.
Who I Work With & How I Help
My ideal mentees are Mid-level, Senior, and Staff software engineers preparing for tier-one technical loops or navigating critical career transitions:
Senior (L5) to Staff (L6) Transitions: Engineers needing to move beyond pure execution to demonstrate cross-team technical influence, unblock organizational stalemates, and prepare bulletproof promotion narratives.
High-Stakes System Design Loops: Candidates facing panels at Meta, Amazon, Google, or high-growth tech who need to move past textbook diagrams and learn how to defend data partitioning, multi-region replication lag, and operational resilience under pressure.
Modern AI-Assisted Implementation: Engineers adapting to real-world coding screens that leverage AI tools, focusing on supervisory review, edge-case detection, and architectural contract validation .
My Mentoring Style
I operate as a direct, collaborative peer rather than a distant lecturer. Sessions are diagnostic and artifact-driven: we examine actual design documents, draft promotion packets, or run high-fidelity mock interviews followed by unvarnished debriefs on your exact hire/no-hire boundary signals. (Note: I focus strictly on architecture, AI implementation, and leadership; I do not offer LeetCode syntax coaching.)
