Experience

1. Technical Program Manager

   Amazon Fulfillment Technologies & Robotics

   Oct 2022 — Present

   Managed the introduction and deployment of robotics solution to fulfillment centre, including the first fully compliant robotic stow arm prototype, through site launch and post-deployment validation achieving a 200+ UPH rate and setting the benchmark for future large-scale deployments- Partnered with cross-functional engineering teams across Amazon and external stakeholders to ensure new systems met scalability, safety, performance and cycle-time requirements for deployment at fulfillment centers resulting in on-time Alpha and Beta launches across multiple fulfillment centers- Analyzed operational and program data to identify gaps, prototype improvements, and implement enhancements that improved deployment predictability by 30% and reduced defect rates in integration testing by 15%- Continuously drove time-to-market (TTM) reductions, implementing a structured change-log, milestone mapping, and dependency tracking and setting up mechanisms for intake, dependency tracking, and release readiness, which cut feature release cycle time by 25% and accelerated launch readiness- Provided technical and program leadership with integrity and accountability while influencing partner teams to align on requirements, priorities, and design trade-offs- Drove technical projects end-to-end — from roadmap definition to launch — mitigating risks, tracking dependencies, and ensuring smooth execution across software, controls, systems, and site operations, which enabled projected revenue growth of $3B from new robotic systems- Delivered regular status reports and leadership updates, increasing visibility and stakeholder alignment on risks, mitigations, and milestone completions enabling faster executive decision-making that shortened approval timelines by 10%- Resolved integration challenges, such as system compatibility between legacy infrastructure and new frameworks related deployments.
