Distributed Systems Testing Alexa

Built integration tests and mocking utilities for Alexa skills pipelines to decouple 3rd-party dependencies and improve stability of CI runs.

Joined the Alexa Devices DSDK team to work on skill utterance handling and pipeline reliability.

Mocked third-party API calls for Alexa integration tests, cutting runtime by ~90% and removing flaky dependencies.
Wrote a Java utility + guide that reduced onboarding to the mocking tool from 2 weeks to 1 day.
Translated/built new skills for Japanese users and validated utterances with an utterance profiler.

Built integration tests with mocked 3rd-party APIs to isolate our code paths, and created onboarding utilities so other teams could adopt the mocking framework faster.

Coordinated with the internal tools team to correct an existing proof-of-concept and document proper usage patterns. Also helped support new Japanese skill creation toward the end of the internship.
