Software Development Engineer II at Amazon, four years in. Currently migrating Alexa Daily Essentials onto Alexa+, Amazon's Gen AI assistant. Previously on Finance Tech services running at millions of transactions per second.
Alexa+, Gen AI in production. Re-modelling deterministic intent handlers as agentic, tool-calling flows. The hard part is not prompting, it is keeping a non-deterministic model inside latency and accuracy budgets that were written for deterministic code.
learn.sauravgpt.in, the course I wanted when I started. Most system design material is either a listicle or a 900-page book. This is my attempt at the middle: short, engineering-first lessons that build in order. 63 lessons across 12 modules, all written by me, and the content is open source.
| Project | What it is | Links |
|---|---|---|
| learn.sauravgpt.in | Course platform with three tracks (System Design, Generative AI, DSA), per-lesson progress and resume-where-you-left-off. Built with Next.js. | Site · Content repo |
| Jiva: Pregnancy & Baby Tracker | Week-by-week milestones, health and mood log, kick counter, trimester-aware recipes. Privacy first, so logs stay on the device. | Google Play |
| Alexa+ Daily Essentials | Migrating Alexa Daily Essentials to Amazon's LLM-powered assistant. | Internal to Amazon |
| Finance Tech | Backend services at millions of transactions per second, where idempotency and safe retries are the only way the system stays correct. | Internal to Amazon |
The lessons behind learn.sauravgpt.in live in a public repo. Fixing a wrong claim, tightening an explanation or adding a lesson is a pull request away.

Happy to talk about Gen AI in production, system design, or anything at the awkward intersection of scale and correctness.
