About Vatsal Sharma
I’m a software engineer passionate about building scalable, high-impact systems that solve complex problems and deliver measurable value to customers. With deep experience in cloud infrastructure and voice AI, I’ve led initiatives that combine software engineering, automation, and machine learning to improve operational efficiency and customer engagement at scale.Some highlights of my work:• Cloud Infrastructure: Migrated 30+ months of mainline code to enable AWS CloudFormation feature parity across GovCloud-owned and MVP regions, automated regional build pipelines to cut deployment time by 50%, and launched the service in three new regions.• Voice AI & ML: Designed and implemented an intelligent scheduler for Alexa notifications, integrating a Gradient Boosting ML framework to predict optimal send times, improving read rates by 50bps. Led LLM integration into Alexa, contributing to the launch of Alexa+ and enabling 4M+ customers to purchase everyday essentials via voice.• Internal Tools & Automation: Built an internal management portal for AWS CloudFormation, deployed it across 25 regions without issues, and reduced operational load by 25%, empowering the team to focus on higher-value engineering tasks.I thrive at the intersection of customer impact, scalable systems, and intelligent automation. I enjoy taking complex problems end-to-end from architecture and implementation to testing, deployment, and measuring real-world impact.
