Amazon Lab126
Sunnyvale, CA
During my second internship with Amazon, I worked in the Amazon Alexa division of Lab126. I worked on localization for a new feature in Alexa media experiences that allows users to move audio streams between Echo devices seamlessly.
I finished my task two weeks early, and after that I worked on load testing our feature along with two full-time engineers. This feature launched in November 2022, and you can read more about it below.
Challenge
My team was working on a new feature for Echo devices, but all the UI messages were only in American English. Before we could launch to our customers, we had to make sure our feature supported a variety of languages and locales.
My role
I designed and implemented enhancements to the Alexa Cloud Service that would enable our feature to support more locales and languages based on the customer's preference.
