## Headline

Senior Software Engineer \| Ex\-Amazon \(8\+ yrs\) \| Distributed Data Platforms and Stream Processing \(2M\+ TPS\)

## About

Senior Software Engineer with 10\+ years of experience building large\-scale distributed systems, data platforms, and stream processing infrastructure\. Over 8 years at Amazon, I led technical initiatives spanning architecture, platform strategy, operational excellence, and cross\-organizational execution\. At Amazon, I helped drive the FDP NextGen initiative from an initial prototype to a production platform processing over 2M events per second\. The platform served hundreds of internal teams and avoided an estimated $8M in future engineering investment by addressing fundamental scalability constraints in the legacy architecture\. I explored entrepreneurship by building an AI\-powered legal research platform for Indian law firms\. The experience provided hands\-on exposure to product discovery, customer engagement, business evaluation, and modern AI application development, including retrieval\-augmented generation \(RAG\), hybrid search, and large\-scale data ingestion\. I currently focus on backend engineering, distributed systems, stream processing, cloud\-native platforms, and AI\-enabled applications\.
