Software Engineer @Amazon | Building Event-Driven Platforms, Backend Distributed Systems & AI Tools at Scale

About

I build backend systems that scale from idea to production. Over the last 2+ years, I’ve worked on high-impact systems across edtech and large-scale platforms, designing APIs, data pipelines, and event-driven architectures that serve millions of users and process thousands of jobs daily. → Built a distributed report generation system processing 10K+ jobs/day with 99.9% uptime → Designed PostgreSQL ↔ Elasticsearch sync pipelines reducing API latency by 40% → Developed AI-powered video localization workflows cutting editing time by 90% → Architected ERP workflows automating operations for 10K+ schools and 1M+ students I enjoy working at the intersection of: • Backend systems & distributed architecture • Data pipelines & performance optimization • AI integrations in real-world products What sets me apart: I don’t just build features — I design systems that scale, reduce operational overhead, and unlock business efficiency. Currently focused on: → Backend / Distributed Systems Engineering roles → Building high-scale, reliable, and intelligent systems If you're working on hard backend or AI problems, I’d love to connect.
