Work
-
2025.05 - 2025.08 Bellevue, WA
Software Development Engineer Intern - RDS Proxy Team
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Developed performance testing and visualization tools for RDS Proxy deployments
- Developed IPEBench Data Visualization Platform with Streamlit, creating 8 interactive visualization types that reduced engineers' performance regression analysis time from 8 hours to 15 minutes
- Built production-grade Regression Testing Framework (10,000+ lines) with statistical analysis (Welch's t-test, power analysis, Bonferroni correction) achieving 99% confidence in detecting performance regressions
- Implemented adaptive sampling system using Thompson Sampling and Bayesian optimization for convergence detection, improving test reliability from 47% to 90% and eliminating false positives that previously blocked deployments
- Integrated AWS CloudWatch metrics with automated dashboard generation, enabling real-time performance monitoring and data-driven decision making for RDS proxy deployments across multiple regions
