Top SchoolSimon Kurgan is an undergraduate researcher and Jr. Software Developer at Amazon with three years of hands-on experience designing scalable, serverless systems and full-stack observability tools. At Amazon he rebuilt tier-2 APIs with Fargate, Java, and Docker to halve processing times, migrated CloudSearch to serverless OpenSearch to shrink stored document counts by two-thirds, and built workflow visibility dashboards that accelerated on-call resolution. Pursuing dual degrees in Mathematics and Informatics at the University of Washington, he blends strong theoretical grounding with practical cloud-native engineering. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, Simon is comfortable across backend, serverless, and front-end stacks and has a knack for turning legacy debugging pain points into measurable efficiency gains.
