# Megan L. > Sofware Engineer @Amazon Music ML | Creative Brand Management & Product Marketing Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/meganl πŸ˜„ Hi there, I’m Megan! I like making complex things feel simple (and occasionally go viral). πŸ§‹ The 1% chance you might recognize me? I drove a boba collab that hit 10M+ views. I run a creative brand studio on the side, where I learned to ship fast, tell good stories, and never underestimate the power of an idea that sticks. 🎢 I’ve spent the last few years at Amazon Music working on personalization (message me if you want to know what I *really* think of my playlists) Let’s connect if you like talking about: ☁️ Product, social media, and creative tech 🎧 Music, design, and brand storytelling 🐈 Or the strange overlap between naming variables and naming cats ## Work Experience ### Software Development Engineer @ Amazon Jan 2022 – Present | San Francisco, CA I build ML personalization systems that help 100M + users discover music they'll love, and AI-generated content pipelines for enhanced audio-visual experiences.
