Chalapathi Koneni

Senior Data Engineer, Amazon

Amazon

I build data platforms at Amazon Prime Video that handle marketing measurement and analytics worldwide — 400+ dataset types, dozens of source systems, billions of rows. Most of my recent work has been figuring out how to deploy AI agents into production without them making things worse. We run six specialized agents for automated data investigation and Ive spent the last year learning what happens when you give AI systems real responsibility over real business decisions.Before Amazon I spent six years at Macys leading enterprise forecasting and replenishment systems. Im an IEEE Senior Member, Ive published research on silent data corruption in AI-augmented pipelines at IEEE ICDCS and ISDFS, and I gave the keynote at IEEE NEXOTECH 2026 on data quality in the age of AI. I review papers for ICDM, VLDB, ACM RecSys, DSN, and about a dozen other venues. I also do editorial reviews for CRC Press.When Im not building things, Im usually trying to figure out why something that worked yesterday broke today — which is basically the problem my agents are supposed to solve.
