Senior leader with a history of developing, launching, and scaling groundbreaking AI-enabled solutions to mitigate risk
Hi, I'm Aaron Sparks! I'm a senior product leader at Amazon with a passion for innovation on all forms of risk mitigation - fraud, human rights violations, and more. I specialize in developing, launching, and scaling AI-enabled solutions to detect bad actors and suspicious transactions. I'm committed to driving innovation that makes a real difference.
Beyond my role at Amazon, I serve as a member of the Tech Advisory Board for Open Supply Hub, a nonprofit organization focused on providing supplier data for sustainability and social impact initiatives. This role allows me to contribute to the transparency and ethical practices in global supply chains.
I maintain my technical edge through continuous learning and hacking together projects on the weekend. I program in Python and SQL. I build on AWS. I use LLMs (mostly Claude Code these days) to move faster.
Built with Python and Flask. The infrastructure is deployed on Elastic Beanstalk (web server), Cognito (authentication), DynamoDB (database), S3 (files), and Route53 (domain hosting). Tailwind CSS for styling, Flask-FlatPages for the blog functionality.
