Work Experience

Software Development Engineer Intern

Pittsburgh, PA

May 2023 - Aug 2023

About the Job

I worked in Amazon Devices on the Alexa Speech Engines Team, focusing on advancing natural language understanding and speech recognition for smoother interaction with all Alexa-enabled devices.

 

Here, I built a simulator recreating real-world regressions pulled from customer data to evaluate various gating strategies, which are used to automatically approve or deny code releases to all Alexa devices.
I then utilized the simulator to implement and compare new strategies, resulting in a 78% decrease in false negatives (missed code problems) and a 35% decrease in false positives (false alarms).
 

This code was then deployed into production for software and science teams, cutting 2-10 days off of each code release.
