SDE II at Amazon Prime Video, working on streaming quality, test platforms and applied AI. Previously defense, national-lab and public-sector systems.
Highlights from my current work.
A system that measures what viewers actually experience (startup time, buffering, picture quality and errors) straight from each device's video output. It gives Prime Video an independent check on its own playback data.
I designed the tool-calling architecture of my team's AI assistant on AWS Bedrock and built its testing, results and lab tools. Engineers run tests, inspect devices and diagnose failures in plain language, and nothing changes without their approval.
I'm the primary engineer on the platform my team uses every day to schedule tests, run a 270-device lab, review results and publish reports.
I run my day-to-day engineering through coordinated AI coding agents working in parallel, with a shared knowledge base so each new task starts from what earlier ones learned.
Automated nightly validation of audience-measurement and ad telemetry for Prime Video Advertising, so the data reported to partners can be trusted.
Defense, national-lab and public-sector systems.
Led the upgrade of a Top Secret/SCI Department of Defense system as one of a two-person team, from design through delivery.
Built satellite-data pipelines for a Department of Energy program, running on distributed compute the team built in-house.
Built the evidence-submission system for the Second Judicial District Attorney's Office, adopted across Bernalillo County and drawing interest from other counties and states.
What I reach for.
LLM agents and tool use, multi-agent workflows, MCP, vision models.
Playback quality, video pipelines, ad tech, audience measurement, TV and mobile devices.
AWS (serverless, containers, data), distributed systems, event-driven design.
TypeScript, Python, Java, Swift, Kotlin, C++, SQL; React.
5 years across streaming, defense, research and government systems.
