Internship-focused software engineer with hands-on experience shipping product features and systems: at Shopify I improved Sidekick Pulse (Ruby on Rails + LLMs) to deliver faster, cheaper merchant insights, and at Amazon Web Services I worked on DynamoDB Global Tables and related systems. Other internships at Super.com and Terra Dygital involved building live features, data pipelines, backend services, and production-ready tooling, demonstrating product-focused engineering at scale. github+2
