    Amazon Operational Strategy & People Analytics Externship

    Imagine shaping how AMAZON — yes, THE Amazon — welcomes and keeps its workforce. Every year, Amazon loses billions because new hires leave before Day 90. You’re going to fix that. In this externship, you’ll web scrape real-world employee reviews from across the web, extract actionable insights, and design persona-driven strategies to help Learning Ambassadors connect smarter, faster, and more humanely. It’s part research, part strategy—and all about learning how people data drives big decisions.

About me

Mechanical engineering student who blends technical thinking with people analytics from an Amazon externship to tackle retention and onboarding problems.

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering student at Stony Brook University working toward my bachelor’s degree. I have some practical experience and completed an Amazon externship focused on operational strategy and people analytics, where I researched employee reviews and developed persona-driven retention ideas.

Data AnalysisPythonStrategyOperations

Overview

The project combined operational strategy with people analytics to examine first-90-day attrition at Amazon fulfillment centers. Work scraped public employee reviews, extracted themes from unstructured feedback, and mapped persona-driven patterns in onboarding and early retention. Deliverables documented insights from the scraped reviews and presented strategic recommendations derived from those

What I've accomplished

I produced a structured spreadsheet that mapped fulfillment center roles (Learning Ambassador, Picker, Packer, Area Manager, Robotics Technician), who each role works with, the common tools and systems they use, and why each role matters operationally.
