Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern @ Amazon
Palo Alto, CA
May 2021 - August 2021
Worked on the Search Data Aggregation team under Search Engine Technologies.
Leveraged AWS services to create a Republisher that can spin up parallel instances to reach a throughput per second (TPS) of up to 60k and is able to process 1+ billion product identifiers, or ASINs, in a single workflow.
The Republisher is a software application that aggregates data and makes products searchable on amazon.com by automatically republishing ASINs that are out-of-sync or updating ASINs after large systematic changes.
Developed in TypeScript, Java, and Python, and used AWS services including DynamoDB, CDK, Glue, EC2, Lambda and S3.
