Location: Sunnyvale, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/samkitshah

I am an SDE-ML at Amazon (Prime Video & Ads) specializing in the intersection of high-scale distributed systems and Agentic AI. I build architectures that handle 200K+ TPS and drive massive business value, including $21M+ in incremental revenue and 75% reduction in operational bottlenecks.

What I bring to the table:

GenAI Leadership: Pioneered enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP) architectures and persistent memory banks, slashing technical review cycles from 60 to 15 minutes for 1,000+ engineers.

ML at Scale: Orchestrated unified recommendation engines using Two-Tower Deep Neural Networks, driving a 12% boost in global subscriptions.

Ad-Tech Innovation: Designed the offline sourcing engine for Prime Video Ad Relevance, serving 400M+ users and delivering $21M in experimental revenue.

Infrastructure Excellence: Expert in performance engineering and cross-region resilience, maintaining 99.99% availability for services processing 100M+ daily requests.

Core Tech: Java, Python, AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock, EMR, Lambda), MCP, RAG, Prompt Engineering, and Distributed System Design.

I’m passionate about the future of Agentic AI and building "bar-raising" technology at a global scale. Let’s connect!

•	Created binary classifier which predicted household eviction based on financial and property features with 98% accuracy which helped Tempe City Council to mitigate future evictions in the county.

### Computer Vision Intern @ Wobot Intelligence
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Ahmedabad Area, India
Worked on hygiene and compliance-based computer vision problems which includes quality research on Activity Classification from video feeds. My work was to make preprocess these data, augment them to increase power of Neural Networks, and create a Classifier that can be deployed on cloud and infer activities on video feeds.
Learn and Explored Tensorflow Object Detection API to create an object detector to detect user's hygiene and safety parameter. For example, wearing a safety hat and jacket on manufacturing sites or wearing hand gloves and hats in the restaurant kitchen.

### Data Science Intern @ Softvan
Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Ahmedabad Area, India
Learned and worked basic machine learning algorithms and how data project pipeline works.
Worked on binary classifier for the user's feedback and used preprocessing(TF-IDF, Bag of Words ) for text using NLTK and trained various algorithms like Logistic Regression,  Gaussian Naive Bayes, Multinomial Naive Bayes and Bagging and Boosting algorithms like XgBoost and AdaBoost. 
Learn about metrics and their importance in the machine learning life cycle.
