As a EM who has successfully delivered multiple complex machine learning and AI
systems leading, coordinating and influencing cross functional orgs and teams of
engineers, scientists and TPMs, I have always been at forefront of anticipating
problems while setting the direction, and managing and executing the plan. For
example, in one of the current projects that i am leading, the project is to
develop a conversational generative AI voice assistant to support digital and
device customers of Amazon, i called out proactively some of the critical issues
in the design proposal on how multi-turn conversations will be orchestrated
between LLM based domain specific reasoning engine and general purpose speech to
speech engine which is capable of speech recognition, chit-chat and speech
rendering. The issue called out was mainly around the arbitration design between
the two engines for different types of conversation including chit-chat and the
ones that would involve a high degree of reasoning. Upon further discussion and
brainstorming, we settled down with a design where reasoning engine would assume
the full responsibility for all types of conversations that would ensure a
consistent CX. the new design also simplified out latency mitigation efforts and
integration challenges.

We had this situation where a General Manager of Creditcards vertical came to
Algorithms to help increase the volume while keeping the margin constant. Their
request is to find areas where we can increase CPA, such that we bid higher and
get more traffic. While I am reviewing the problem we found that there are two
issues to deal with not one. So I took the initiative to solve both the
problems. We came up with a plan where we speak with SEM team presented the
inefficiency and corrections. We meet weekly and communicated the progress of
each steps. We also tested our efforts and implemented with SEM team. In the end
we are able to solve both problems. With our planning we saved time by solving
both problems simultaneously.
