I am happy to announce that from July to October 2021 I joined Amazon as Pathways Operations Intern.
Amazon Pathways Operations is a career accelerator in Amazon to develop leaders to become Amazon General Managers and Directors.
During my internship (which occurred during my PhD) I was in charge of imporving a metrics measuring the number of drivers entering and leaving the delivery station in time. Beside supervising and managing Amazon associates and drivers during the loading of the vans I also developed two tools in VBA for excel:
- one to simplify and automate the data analysis and visualization for the metrics I was in charge to monitor;
- one to automate the process in checking in the drivers when entering the station. This process was done manually, with the associates manually writing down on paper the number of vans entering the station and keeping track of how many were late. With my tool, the whole process was automated and it leveraged information extracted from scraping Amazon’s dashboards to understand when a driver was supposed to arrive, the best location to park each avn, the missing drivers.
