About Me
Hello! My name is Basil and I am a Software Engineer currently located in Virginia. I have a passion for working on complex problems and finding simple solutions! I graduated in 2020 with a Bachelors in Computer Science from George Mason University and joined Amazon as a new graduate.
Since then, I have lead and delivered impactful customer facing features, trained and onboarded new hires and interns, been promoted to SDE II, and successfully helped establish a team to take ownership of a critical EC2 service.
