Top SchoolMelinda L is a back-end developer with 9 years of software experience and 3+ years at Amazon building large-scale personalization systems that measurably increased engagement and revenue across Amazon subsidiaries like Shopbop and Woot. She blends strong engineering skills in Scala, Python, and Java with hands-on ML/GenAI work—using embeddings and LLMs to personalize product detail pages and email recommendations. At Amazon she led cross-team integrations, migrations, and on-call operations while mentoring new hires and creating a runbook that shortened ramp-up time. Her work delivered concrete business outcomes, including a $6M annual profit from Shopbop features and a 76K-click lift for a regional widget, and she helped drive GDPR/CCPA-compliant data processes. Beyond back-end systems she also contributes to front-end open-source projects like Storybook, improving developer UX with copy-to-clipboard and syntax highlighting enhancements. Based in San Francisco, she’s seeking product-centric roles where personalization and measurable user impact are central.
