while reviewing one of the older projects that was currently implemented in the company I noticed that there was no alerting in place if the data pipeline breaks, the data pipeline has never been broken and it never failed for the last 2 years. it was a pipeline where the data would be dropped into an sftp bucket by the customer every hour and then it was moved to an s3 bucket where s3 triggers were implemented to moved the data in to queue. So in case there is an issue with the data not being processed we would only know when the we see a drop in volume. I identified it as a potential issue with the system and worked on a proposal to have monitoring in place so we are notified when there is an error. I worked with the program manager and devised a plan on how to implement the alerting and the time lines as well as the effort that will be needed to implement it. I mapped the impact of not having it to the current goals of the company and then put forward a proposal of implementing the alerts to the business and took their buyins. after getting the buyins I proposed the task to my team and some of the sr devlopers were not too keen on implenting the alerts, I gave the task to some of the Jr devlopers and the alerts were implemented. after the implementation we discovered that for some hrs in a day we werent getting any files so instead of getting 24 files in a day we were getting 20 files a day in an average. This was rectified by talking to the customer and the missing data was solved. but this made the whole team realize the importance of monitoring and alerting. It also bosted the moral of the Jr developers seeing the direct impact they made to the business goals

So for my current role we move in a very fast paced environment, and we brainstorm new ideas everyday on how to make our workflow more efficient and more reliable, which can definitely get overwhelming over time. So I would first assess projects' urgency and impact, and then for each project, I break it down into small milestones. After that I track them on project management tools like Jira to ensure I allocate my time effectively and communicate proactively with stakeholders

I would like to talk about situation. When I was an engineering  manager at digital commerce platform org at Amazon, I was handling close to 11 services, and 

as part of the Rolling Stone initiative where Amazon was trying to move all its services away from Oracle, I had four services that I was trying to migrate from Oracle to the databases hosted on Azure. All my fellow colleagues who were owning services of DCP were doing similar exercise. One of the colleague who was owning digital redemption service had to go on maternity leave, and then couple of engineers earmarked to do this migration for digital redemption service wwere transition out of the organization. That is when I offered to help with the migration of the service. 

So I now had 5 services with competing  priorities where I 

had to manage very tight schedule of service migrations. Planning a very ruthless prioritization, figuring out an optimal execution path of a completely unknown service, interacting with the service upstream clients whom i had not worked with prior, working with an amalgam of My team members and the service owner team members were few of the ambiguous paths I navigated to help do on time migration completion of the   service owned by my collegues.

I’ve reached a stage where I feel I’ve learned a lot in my current role, but the growth opportunities ahead are limited. I’m looking for a new challenge where I can take on more responsibility, work on impactful problems, and continue to grow.

I had to facilitate a conflict between a Product Manager and other stakeholders in the project. I had a conversation about it separately with each party involved to try to understand the situation, causes of conflict and a potential solution. It was crucial to get the perspective of both parties, essentially the conflict was around the fact that the PM was extremely overwhelmed so didn’t have the bandwidth to handle all questions and requests that were coming from the ops teams that were trying to raise feature requests based on customer feedback. I have later on suggested a dedicated process to raise feature requests through JIRA, containing all the mandatory information and assessed priority.

It would be at my thesis, of predicting SEPSIS with AI using multiple models, and the challenge was with time management, since we had 2 problems, the first problem was that we didn't had access to the data base until half of the second semester, since the process to get access to a hospital database was a rigorous process, so we weren't able to go quick with our application. The second one was that a team mate and I had a family member with cancer, so we needed to manage our work load in a manner that we could be present as family and team members, we needed to fulfil our duties on the project, so I planted a prioritization process in witch we focused on our best attributes I on sql queries and documentation, mostly but the situation with the family member of my companion worsen, so needed someone to help with his work load, so I also assisted him with his main tasks as the main designer of the project, mainly on the uml diagrams, so that we could end our thesis
