The most amazing...
...piece of software I've developed is a cloud data processing pipeline, capable of ingesting all the logs produced by S3 in the US.
Work Experience
Software Development Engineer
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Developed a distributed data processing pipeline to ingest terabytes of logs.
- Led the development of a tool to trace requests and identify issues in a system developed by more than 500 engineers. The tool can automatically detect regressions and assign them to the responsible team.
- Created a dashboard that reported issues found by the distributed tracing tool to the leadership. It allows AWS leaders to know what is going on in S3 performance-wise and allows service team engineers to get insights into found issues.
- Planned the work and roadmap and organized the sprints for the three engineers working on the two above-mentioned projects (tracing tool and dashboard.).
- Worked six months on a new AWS product (until launch): S3 Object Lambda. Conducted security reviews and worked on DevOps and many other tasks.
