SDE @ AWS Identity & Access Management · Seattle, WA · 4 years at AWS
I work on IAM policy evaluation — the authorization infrastructure used across AWS. My work spans customer-facing APIs, policy-language parsing, deployment systems, region automation, and production operations. Small surface area, enormous blast radius. If your AWS request got denied today, statistically speaking, my code was involved.
Three things I care about: dependable systems, safe changes, and making complicated things easier to understand.
