At Prime Video I engineered large-scale personalization and retrieval systems powering millions of transactions per second across global storefronts. I conceived a patent-pending recommendation strategy, aligned product, science, and engineering teams, and built the DynamoDB-based online serving architecture paired with Spark-trained contextual bandits—driving the largest subscription-start increase in PV history (~8M annually).
I delivered integrity-critical recommendation systems (Top 10 charts, full-catalog embedding scoring), and scaled nearest-neighbor retrieval using FAISS. I also identified and resolved distributed caching flaws that saved millions in infra costs, implemented cross-region failover with stronger freshness guarantees, and integrated backend support for early LLM-based semantic grouping.
