Part of the Prime Video Website team, with only a short break working with the Living Room Devices team. Specifically, during the early stages, I worked with a feature team designing and developing marketing features and experiments, while later on, I focused on the Web Platform delivering improvements on common web features, our infrastructure and the development experience.

As a separate role, I lead the Website scaling readiness efforts designing, coordinating and monitoring load tests and subsequently driving resolution of any issues discovered.
