I'm obsessed with tackling problems through applied AI, software development, and robotics. Here's an overview of my professional journey and key projects.

Amazon Robotics

Software Engineer, Robotic Sortation Technology - ML / Optimization | Dec 2024 — Present

Leading real-time ML and optimization systems for robotic package sortation at scale:

  • Designed, built, and led growth of an LLM-powered AI agent framework to monitor key package processing metrics, perform optimizations, and fix configuration issues completely autonomously within robotic fulfillment centers.
  • Led implementation of a real-time predictive optimization framework to predict and reduce internal package recirculation inefficiencies. Delivered in first six months with millions in projected annual savings.
  • Implemented new data fetching strategy for fulfillment metrics dashboards, reducing feature development time by 60%.
  • Developed microservices in Go, Kotlin, and Scala on serverless AWS infrastructure with strict monitoring, testing, and uptime standards across global fulfillment centers.

Loupt

Technical Co-Founder, 2023 — Present

Building a Regulation Crowdfunding platform to democratize access to investment opportunities:

  • Designed and deployed Node.js services and Next.js web application with PostgreSQL on ECS using AWS services.
  • Integrated third-party APIs for KYC/AML, payment processing, and marketing automation.
  • Led development team and collaborated closely with institutional investors and stakeholders.
  • Held regular Scrum meetings and enforced coding standards to maintain velocity and quality.
  • Still spend 90% of my day in the IDE — building, shipping, and iterating.

Amazon Robotics

Software Engineer Intern, QA Automation | Summer 2023

Built a serverless React dashboard for QA regression tracking:

  • Developed serverless React app using AWS CDK (Infrastructure as Code) for CI/CD and deployment.
  • Completed project weeks ahead of schedule and iterated based on end-user feedback.

Structural Services

Software Engineer | Dec 2021 — May 2023

Led development of device interaction software for AI-powered construction assistive system:

  • 10×-ed wireless image transmission throughput using SIMD for real-time compression.
  • Built C++ interfaces for CV cameras, SBG Systems IMU/GPS, and Micro-Epsilon LiDAR.
  • Enabled centimeter-accurate GPS tracking using RTK positioning.

CV Hazard Detection Model

Python, OpenCV, Keras, AWS SageMaker | Lehigh Capstone - Fall 2023

Fine-tuned object detection for autonomous cyclist safety with Bethlehem startup, Skillion:

  • Improved off-the-shelf model performance by 100x for cyclist hazard detection.
  • Trained on KITTI, NTNU datasets, and custom Tesla Model S onboard camera data (labeled in-house).

Newton Notes

SwiftUI | gasek.net/newtonnotes | 2024

A minimalist, privacy-first gym workout tracker built in pure SwiftUI:

  • Open-source alternative to bloated fitness apps — no accounts, no tracking.
  • Clean, intuitive UI focused on speed and simplicity.
