This enables using large-scale DL models (1B+ params) for ad ranking within a 40ms latency budget at 200K+ TPS to support a $1B advertisement ecosystem. Develops features for a microservice deployment platform used to host real-time services in Amazon Ads. This leverages ECS/EC2 + Envoy proxy to build a network of 15k+ hosts with 1ms network latency with out-of-the-box client-side load-balancing, traffic shaping, and observability (request tracing). ### Software Engineer @ Amazon Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Palo Alto, California, United States On the Machine Learning Delivery team within the Sponsored Products organization. Works to develop our scalable remote ML inferencing solution for the advertisement delivery pipeline. Helps maintain an inferencing server that can load and serve modeling results to our ad server. ### Computer Science Tutor @ Juni Learning Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Berkeley, California, United States Taught students aged 8 to 18 in the principles of computer science and programming through a series of focused curriculums and hands-on programming projects. - Developed a learning strategy for each student based on their age, prior experience, and inclination towards different computer science topics. - Focused on a wide variety of subjects in computer science, including learning standard industry programming languages such as Python, Scratch, Java, and HTML/CSS, but also the basics of web development, data analysis, and computer graphics. - Experienced in a range of education levels, from basic graphics in Scratch up to test-taking strategies for the AP Computer Science exam. ### Under-Secretary General of Internal Relations @ Berkeley Model United Nations Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Berkeley, California Manages internal relations within an organization of over 90 active members.

Developed the frontend and middleware for a platform to view and manage the lifecycles of the ML models used to determine sponsored products on search. Features include: - Defining model types in our Dynamo DB to later to be referenced by pre-trained model instances. - Publishing a pre-trained model instance to be used in production. - Viewing the health and relevance of these models to determine if further training is required. Built using: - An internal Amazon servlet provider built on Jersey to host a Rest API for our persistent ML systems to interact with, as well as serve static assets built in: - React.js written in Typescript, to create a modular, dynamic single-page web-app for data scientists and on-call engineers to interact with. - An internal Yubikey solution running off a proxy service in front of our servlet for two-factor authentication. ### Associate Backend Engineer @ Disqus Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area A platform for managing commenting platforms found all throughout the web. Developed on the Disqus backend and API, including integrating database models, creating JSON-RPC endpoints, and managing Authx. ### Backend Engineering Intern @ Disqus Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area Developed and is currently deploying a project for introducing intelligent comment collapsibility and expandability: - Created configurable modes that paginated based on thread topology, popularity, and relevance - Prototyped in Python, built for production in Go - Interfaced with using Cassandra and Rabbit MQ ### Full Stack Developer @ Astra - The Social Supercomputer Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Berkeley, CA Created Astra products for widespread supercomputing and social repositories available for anyone. Works on both client and server-side integration. Uses stacks such as - Django Rest for API development and business logic, as well as database integration - React.js w/ Redux for our cross-browser, modular web framework - BOINC for parallelized thread allocation and interfacing with research organizations - Cocoa Swift development tools for a desktop scripting provide and a native interface. to create delightful user interfaces, desktop clients, and back-end authentication frameworks. ### Undergraduate Research Assistant @ CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | University of California at Berkeley Worked on decorrelation mechanisms and analysis for the tellurium oxide bolometers used in CUORE, including R&D improvements on microphones surrounding the cryostat. Using this data I worked on extracting extraneous noise from the final waveform, and also worked on coincidence algorithms to minimize multi-channel events. ## Education ### Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science University of California, Berkeley ### Florida Atlantic University ### Boca Raton Community High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/soham-kale-552035b9 --- Source: https://flows.cv/sohamkale JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/sohamkale/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-31
