About Sam Wei

Hi, I’m Sam. I hold a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University.I currently work at Amazon Game Studios, where I design and build scalable internal platforms that streamline QA and testing workflows. My projects include AI-driven test automation leveraging Generative AI, Test Insights dashboards with real-time data pipelines, and internal certification services—tools that reduce QA preparation time by 75%, cut query latency by over 99%, and improve operational efficiency across teams.Before Amazon, I worked at TuSimple as a Sensor Software Application Engineer, developing automation tools for sensor bring-up and black-box testing.I’m passionate about creating user-focused software and enjoy building side projects in AI, web development, and full-stack applications. These experiences have strengthened my skills in Python, C#, TypeScript, React, and system design, while giving me hands-on experience delivering end-to-end solutions that scale and impact real users.Outside of work, I develop personal iOS apps, including Meowow, a cat behavior and sound translator with custom ML models, and BeBetterMe, a mood journal with an AI-powered companion. These projects allow me to explore AI, full-stack development, and mobile experiences, while delivering tangible value to users.
