Hi, I’m Jaison Felix Menezes

Software Engineer

I build reliable backend systems, distributed data pipelines, and pragmatic ML features. I’ve shipped at Amazon, ICICI Lombard, CloudFront, and CSULB. Currently completing my MS in Information Systems at CSULB (May 2026). Open to Software Engineer roles in backend/distributed systems and data/ML platforms.

Experience

Ancestry logo

Software Engineer, Co-op · Ancestry · Lehi, UT

Feb 2026 – Present · Python · OpenTelemetry · Model Context Protocol (MCP) · LangChain · Claude API · AWS · CloudWatch

  • Developing AI-powered migration tools using LangGraph and Claude API.
  • Building agentic Python AST parsing engines using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to migrate New Relic and Datadog APM instrumentation to OpenTelemetry with automated validation and rollback safety.
  • Implemented real-time PII detection and redaction pipelines using AWS Lambda and CloudWatch Logs to scan and sanitize multi-source log streams for compliance.

Business Intelligence Engineer, Intern · Amazon · Bellevue, WA

May 2025 – Aug 2025 · SQL · Spark · Redshift · Kinesis · Lambda/Glue · Airflow

  • Built a labor-optimization service that disaggregates shift schedules into hourly load forecasts — improved granularity and reduced overstaffing by 14% at a pilot site in 6 weeks.
  • Implemented real-time event processing (Kinesis → Lambda/Glue → Redshift) with durable storage & query APIs; refreshed 7 KPIs in 8–12 minutes end-to-end vs. 2–3 hours baseline.
  • Productionized A/B evaluation for a First-Mile pre-bagging pilot; ETL (Redshift SQL, Airflow) for touch count/mis-sorts/truck fill rate contributed to ~8% fewer touches.

Research Assistant · CSULB Research · Long Beach, CA (Part‑time)

Jan 2025 – Feb 2026 · Python/Flask · Java/Kotlin · Apache Spark (Scala) · Iceberg/Delta

  • Shipped a WCAG 2.2 AA compliant, parent‑facing Flask app with ARIA attributes and automated accessibility checks.
  • Refactored Java microservices (auth, payments) for distributed deployment; +JUnit/Mockito tests cut bug resolution time by 25%.
  • Architected ingestion (Databricks Workflows + Spark) moving 20+ GB/day of Census/IRS/USPS data into Iceberg ACID tables; later migrated to Delta for compaction efficiency.
  • Tuned a Kotlin Android app with live class schedules & charts (MPAndroidChart), adopted by 1,000+ users.

Software Engineer — Data & ML Infrastructure · ICICI Lombard · Mumbai, India

Jan 2023 – Aug 2024 · PySpark · Databricks · Azure · Cosmos DB · Redis · APIM

  • Engineered batch + streaming services landing in ADLS Gen2/Delta across 5+ sources (~1.2M records/month); 99.9% successful runs, DLQ <0.1%.
  • Real‑time telematics via Event Hubs (Kafka API) → Cosmos DB; sustained 1.2–1.5K msgs/s, p95 read ~5 ms, p99 write ~30 ms.
  • Fraud‑scoring REST APIs (RF/XGBoost/LogReg) on Azure Functions behind APIM (rate limits, OAuth2/JWT); manual claim review time −40%.
  • Distributed caching (Redis + Bloom filters) across 15+ microservices; DB load −60%, API p95 from 250 ms → 70 ms.
  • Provisioned infra with Terraform; Jenkins caching cut CI/CD times by 40%.

Software Engineer · CloudFront Technologies (DataFronts) · Jersey City, NJ (Remote)

Aug 2020 – Jan 2023 · Java (Spring Boot) · Azure App Service · RabbitMQ · Azure DevOps

  • Built event‑driven microservices integrating CRM (Salesforce/Dynamics) & ERP (SAP/NAV/F&O); zero‑downtime releases via staged slots.
  • Personalization graph in Neo4j + Redis cache → sub‑100 ms recommendations; monitored with Azure Log Analytics.
  • Nightly ERP→CRM sync on AKS (Docker, K8s, Helm): 2M+ rows/run, success 85%→99.5%, runtime −40%.
  • Implemented API Gateway controls (APIM rate limiting + throttling) and secure auth (OAuth2, TLS); served 2,000+ active users.
  • DRI for production data services; led on‑call rotations, incident triage, and SLA restoration.
