• Engineering owner of ShopTheLook, a web service (Spring, React) that allows customers to shop for looks by taking a screenshot or
uploading a custom photo - https://www.amazon.com/shopthelook that serves millions of requests daily.
• Collaborated with stakeholders to continuously improve ShopTheLook for customer experiences, including maintaining, bug fixing, A/B
testing, investigation, deprecation, migration, integration, and developing new features. Increased global revenue by 23.3% in 2022 Q4.
• Led the design and development of Clickstream Data Ingestion, a distributed, scalable, reliable, and cost-effective cloud batch
system defined on AWS which processes historical customer behavior data and injects them into Elasticsearch for machine learning
investigation.
• Optimized event analytic TSV reports process performance and cost by asynchronous approach with message queue service and
autoscaling approach with serverless Lambda.
• Continuous integration/deployment, pull requests, code reviews, load/stress testing, unit/integration/e2e testing.
Amazon | Palo Alto, United States May 2021 - July 2021
Software Engineer Intern
• Designed and implemented a distributed reports generator with event metrics across data sources including Amazon DynamoDB, S3,
and CloudWatch, which has AWS cloud infrastructure defined in CDK/TypeScript and serverless Lambda defined in Python.
• Collaborated with dataset leads to test the reports generator and deployed it to the production stage that converts 100% manual work
to complete automation.
Jamf (ZecOps) | San Francisco, United States February 2021 - Apr. 2021
Software Engineer Intern
• Designed and implemented a PostgreSQL database with partition, sharding, and replication to support storing security information
with millions of writes per day from iOS Powerlog files.
• Built API endpoints with Spring Boot and Hibernate to process data in Powerlog files and load them to the PostgreSQL database.
RWTH Aachen | Aachen, Germany April 2017 - April 2019
Software Engineer / Research Scientist
• Led a software engineering team to support machine-learning-based mechanical properties' prediction in foundry production.
• Built a big data processing service with Apache Flume, Hadoop, Hive, Sqoop, DolphinScheduler, Spring Boot, and Hibernate to
process and store mechanical properties data (TB) to MySQL for machine learning investigation.
• Tuned hyper-parameters of Support Vector Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Feedforward Neural Networks, and Long
Short-Term Memory in TensorFlow, which optimized the prediction accuracy from about 89% to 99.8% and published an SCI paper Spring
Back Prediction of Multiphase Steel.

SELECTED PROJECTS
Routine+: A MERN stack web application that helps people develop habits. https://github.com/melofo/routine-plus
• Led the design and development of a MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack website with RESTful routes to organize
