About

I am a senior software engineer with 15 years of experience working at AWS. I have been a founding member of three publicly launched products at AWS.

I am passionate about building products iteratively at scale with a high bar on operations. My expertise is building distributed systems, APIs using micro services built on AWS - Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, CloudWatch to name a few. I have experience building both customer facing services and large scale backend infrastructure services using Java.

Along with building products, I am passionate about mentoring. I have mentored 15+ engineers at Amazon from SDE 1s to 3s helping them to get promoted at various levels.

I can help answers questions regarding how to influence more, code with higher quality, do operations with higher quality and how to grow your career while doing all this.
