Hi! I'm Ambrose Tuscano, a Computer Science graduate and Software Engineer at Amazon Advertising.
I'm a backend-focused developer with a passion for building scalable distributed systems and crafting clean, efficient APIs. At Amazon, I work on high-impact software that drives advertising solutions, using technologies like Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, DynamoDB, and PostgreSQL.
My work involves performance tuning, data pipeline design, and consistently delivering high-quality code in production environments. I’ve also led freelance projects in web development and data analysis—experiences that have made me adaptable and solutions-oriented across domains.
I’m always exploring new backend and cloud technologies, and I enjoy collaborating on interesting ideas. If you'd like to connect—or just chat over coffee—drop me a line at ambrosetuscano@gmail.com.
