Portrait of Peter Njoroge
College Park, Maryland

I'm studying Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park. After two summers as a Software Development Engineer Intern at Amazon, I enjoy solving difficult problems and building useful software.

I also care about making tech more accessible to people who are underrepresented in it.

Background

Experience

Amazon

Software Development Engineering Intern

Box Optimization Team · Bellevue, Washington

  • Built an AI-powered audit history system that records every packaging-rule change for every item in Amazon's fulfillment network (34M+ item changes every six weeks) using DynamoDB Streams, AWS Lambda, and DynamoDB.
  • Designed Java query APIs and a React web application to trace who changed an item's packaging rules and when, cutting investigations from hours to seconds and saving approximately $6.2K in engineering time per investigation.
  • Developed an Amazon Bedrock AI agent using natural language processing (NLP) to answer plain-English questions across 19.7M+ weekly bulk-upload changes, transforming raw audit records into concise, readable investigation summaries.

Safo Sports Group

Founding Engineer

College Park, Maryland

  • Co-founded an AI-powered NIL platform where college athletes and brands discover each other, building the Spring Boot backend and a matchmaking agent that pairs them based on shared interests, target audiences, and sports performance.
  • Built AWS infrastructure as code with CDK, running the API and matchmaking service on auto-scaling ECS Fargate containers, with PostgreSQL storing athlete and brand data and Redis caching frequently viewed profiles for faster loads.

Software Development Engineering Intern

Box Optimization Team · Bellevue, Washington

  • Rebuilt Amazon's Box Recommendation troubleshooting service used to understand why specific packaging decisions were made, replacing a server-based system with a cloud-native architecture that cut latency by 35% and saved $100K+/year.
  • Designed the service using AWS Lambda, SNS/SQS, and DynamoDB to asynchronously capture and store package recommendation data, while using AWS CDK and automated monitoring to improve reliability and operational overhead.
