Owning production reliability, workflow-platform capabilities, global region launches, deployment automation, and operational tooling for AWS Step Functions.

  • Built an SOP-driven LLM agent that reduced manual quota-safety triage by approximately 80% across 10-20 weekly requests while retaining human review.
  • Owned Step Functions work from internal availability to GA in an isolated AWS environment, diagnosing cross-service failures through remote operators and launching in September 2025.
