Elias Haroun
Software Development Engineer II @ Amazon
Army Infantry Officer @ Canadian Armed Forces (2011 - 2016)
Hello aspiring professionals! I'm Eli, and I'm here to help you navigate the intricate pathways of software development, engineering, and career advancement.
With over 10 years of hands-on experience as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon, Microsoft and other companies, I've honed my skills in crafting scalable solutions, optimizing infrastructure, and leading cross-functional teams to success. I've also worked as a college computer science teacher and mentored many junior and aspiring engineers for over 10 years.
During my tenure at Amazon, I've spearheaded transformative projects that have reshaped how we approach software development and infrastructure optimization. As a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon Fashion Tech – Search Ranking, I architected and implemented infrastructure solutions leveraging cutting-edge AWS technologies such as SageMaker pipelines, Step Functions, Lambda, S3, Docker, and ECR. These solutions streamlined data processing, accelerated experimentation, and facilitated regional expansion, ultimately contributing to enhanced customer experiences and increased sales revenue.
Prior to that, at Amazon Last Mile Delivery – Product and Tech, I led the development and deployment of backend serverless applications that revolutionized the Amazon Flex driver experience. Leveraging AWS services including Lambda, SQS, SNS, and DynamoDB, I optimized critical components of Tier-1 applications, driving efficiency and scalability while ensuring seamless service delivery.
My professional journey extends beyond Amazon, encompassing roles at the forefront of technology and innovation. As a Software Development Engineer I at Amazon Alexa / Lex Learning Systems, I played a pivotal role in enhancing speech recognition capabilities, expanding language support, and optimizing deployment processes. My contributions enabled Alexa to evolve into a more versatile and user-centric AI assistant, setting new standards for voice-enabled technologies.
At the heart of my mentoring philosophy lies a commitment to empowering individuals with practical insights and actionable strategies. I believe in fostering a collaborative environment where learning is not just a process but a journey of self-discovery and growth.
Away from the keyboard, you might find me playing with my dog, indulging in outdoor adventures, or volunteering in community initiatives.
Here's what you can expect from our mentoring sessions:
Tailored Guidance - Whether you're diving into coding challenges, refining your resume, or preparing for technical interviews, I provide personalized guidance tailored to your unique goals and aspirations.
Practical Insights - Drawing from my experience at top-tier companies and academic background in Computer Science, I offer practical insights into software development best practices, AWS technologies, and industry trends.
Mentorship Beyond Code - Beyond technical skills, I'm committed to helping you develop the mindset and soft skills essential for long-term success in the tech industry.
Real-World Examples - I leverage real-world examples and case studies from my professional journey to illustrate key concepts and inspire creative problem-solving.
