About the Person
Ameesh is an accomplished engineer and technology executive. After starting his career at Microsoft, he moved across town to join a small company called Amazon.com. At Amazon, he focused on building software and services that allowed the company to sell digital goods that didn`t come in little brown boxes. Ameesh helped launch Prime Instant Video, Amazon`s Appstore, Cloud Drive, and the Kindle product line. He then became the founding employee of Amazon`s digital R&D facility in Southern California, where he oversaw 550+ employees. Much of Atom`s design was born of Ameesh`s frustration with planning a night out at the movies with friends. He has a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of California, San Diego, and holds 16 patents. He is not very good at poker but would be happy for you to invite him to a friendly game. Ameesh`s favorite movie is Gladiator (followed closely by Star Trek VI).
