# Yash Jaiswal > Software Engineer @ Amazon | Carnegie Mellon University Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/yashjaiswal I recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Master’s in Information Systems Management, where I honed my skills in building scalable, data-driven systems. I’m now a Software Development Engineer at Amazon, focusing on Ad Monetization for Twitch, where I work on driving impactful innovations in the advertising space. Previously, I’ve gained hands-on experience in large-scale data processing, ETL optimization, and graph databases through roles at Knowledge Foundry and the Indian Institute of Science. I’ve also thrived in fast-paced environments, winning multiple international hackathons, including HackMIT, HackHarvard, and Cal Hacks, with my work culminating in a patent and a conference publication. I’m passionate about solving complex problems and building high-performance systems that make a difference. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Amazon Jan 2025 – Present | Manhattan, New York, United States Ad Monetization Team for Twitch ### Software Engineer @ cPacket Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | United States ### Software Engineer @ IRALOGIX Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States ### Graduate Teaching Assistant @ Carnegie Mellon University Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States ### Software Engineer, Recommendation Systems @ Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 • Engineered a generative AI pipeline using Whisper API to transcribe 15+ hours of video content, and employing GPT-3.5 for performing detailed thematic analysis, achieving targeted insights in line with our research's guidelines. • Headed the development of a funded research project that formalized into a novel recommendation system, built using ontology-driven knowledge graphs, Neo4j, Python and custom NLP methods from spaCy. • Achieved 87.5% accuracy in classifying raw text into FBS ontology categories using spaCy, employing clustered cosine similarity and Named-Entity Recognition methods. • Conducted 15+ hours of hands-on experiments to investigate generative design techniques (Cellular Automata and Shape Grammar). ### Software Engineer @ Knowledge Foundry Business Solutions Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 • Developed ETL infrastructure using Flask, Neo4j, AWS (S3 and EC2) and SQL for a graph-based recommendation system, processing over 64 million data records every hour. • Boosted query runtime performances by 50%, achieved by analyzing query build plans and through strategic optimization of cache miss rates, indexing, and using faster graph traversal procedures. • Improved debugging efficiency by implementing an ETL Python Logger mechanism that segregates log files by message log levels, resulting in reduced noise and streamlined troubleshooting. • Devised a dynamic query generator for automating cypher query CRUD operations using a rule-based approach, leading to lesser hardcoded queries. • Used AWS EC2 instances to perform remote compute operations and AWS S3 buckets for data warehousing. ### Full Stack Developer @ IBM Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 • Built an efficient record management platform to maintain records of IBM-sponsored events using Bootstrap, Flask, and CouchDB. • Designed wireframes to explain application functionality to IBM executives. • Designed and implemented the database schema using CouchDB. • Developed the back-end for the platform using Flask, created multiple routes to handle user requests, and implemented form validation using the Flask WTForms module. • Created a minimalistic and responsive UI using Bootstrap. • Utilized Docker containers for production code. ## Education ### Master's degree in Information Systems Management Carnegie Mellon University ### Bachelor of Engineering - BE in Information Science Visvesvaraya Technological University ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/yashjaiswal1 --- Source: https://flows.cv/yashjaiswal JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/yashjaiswal/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
