Summary
Clay Tsay is an SDE II at Amazon with eight years of engineering experience and a dual background in chemical engineering and computer science from UC Berkeley. He builds scalable, production systems—having progressed from an Alexa Music intern who designed log-indexing and metrics pipelines to a full-time SDE—while applying machine learning interests toward chemical process control. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends lab-honed experimental rigor (battery research and neurostimulation safety devices) with cloud-native skills like AWS CDK, Kinesis, and Elasticsearch. That interdisciplinary mix lets him approach software problems with both systems-level engineering and physical-process intuition, making him effective at bridging ML research ideas and deployable software.
