I'm Shreyas. At Amazon I design inbound algorithms that decide what we buy from vendors and how much, so fulfillment centers stay stocked. Nights and weekends I build software for the parts of life that don't scale.
Experience
The day job
Amazon
2016 — Present
Supply Chain Optimization
New York
Senior Software Development Engineer
I design inbound algorithms that decide what Amazon buys from its vendors and in what quantity, so fulfillment centers are stocked efficiently. The work sits where forecasting, cost and capacity meet: every decision is a tradeoff between holding too much and running out. I started with two co-op rotations and have been here since, most recently as a Senior SDE.
Education
Where it started
The University of Texas at Dallas
2014 — 2016
ACM
M.S., Computer Science
Distributed systems, machine learning, big data analytics, cloud computing and compiler construction — and the part of the degree that turned out to matter most, learning how large systems fail.
St. Francis Institute of Technology
2010 — 2014
Computer Society of India
B.E., Computer Engineering
Graduated First Class with Distinction.
Selected work
Things I've built and shipped
Five products, all live. Each one started because a piece of ordinary life needed better software than a notes app.
Life Dashboard
Sleep, reading, films, games and habits pulled from five APIs into one timeline, with Claude writing the weekly and yearly reviews.
Constellation
Eight stops across three cities, played on a phone, outdoors, on a day that could not be re-run — so nothing in it is allowed to fail.
Persona
An evolving record of someone's preferences, history and habits — so you remember the things that matter to them.
Housekeeping
Chores, schedules, shopping and the invisible mental load — split fairly between two people instead of carried by one.
Better Productivity
Task and habit tracking built around the numbers that actually show whether anything changed.
Why
Software for the parts of life that don't scale
My day job is optimization at a scale where a rounding error is a warehouse. The problems are enormous, abstract, and measured in millions of units.
The things I build at night are the opposite: small, specific, and measured in whether one household runs a little more smoothly. Remembering what someone told you last month. Knowing whose turn it is. Noticing that a habit actually stuck. None of it scales, and all of it matters.

Always happy to talk about supply chain optimization, building products on nights and weekends, or anything you're working on.
