PULKIT KUMAR DHIR — Senior Software Engineer
A seasoned Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE 3) with over 6 years of experience at Amazon, specializing in building scalable, innovative solutions leveraging a wide range of AWS services. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and technical expertise, applying my multidisciplinary engineering background to tackle complex challenges. In my career, I have addressed computational challenges such as solving NP-hard problems like the Traveling Salesman Problem for Amazon’s middle-mile transport network, delivering optimized solutions that enhance operational efficiency. Currently, I work in the Operations Risk & Compliance (ORC) team, supporting critical domains such as Amazon Transportation, Global Trade Services, Food Safety, and Environmental Assurance & Protection. My approach to solving challenges is driven by these core principles: Start with compliance: I build solutions that prioritize customer compliance needs while reducing risk and enabling scalability through innovative technology. Innovate beyond automation: I design systems that go beyond automating processes, driving innovation to ensure full compliance at scale. Simplicity matters: I develop solutions that are easy to use, highly visible, simple to implement, and effectively understood by stakeholders. Think long-term, act incrementally: I build systems with future scalability in mind, adapting to ever-changing risk and compliance requirements while delivering value through iterative improvements. Impact-driven innovation: I focus on creating impactful solutions by strategically building and leveraging tools and technologies for speed and efficiency. My technical expertise includes working with AWS computing services such as Step Functions, Lambda, EC2, EC2 Containers, and API technologies like GraphQL APIs and REST APIs. I have extensive experience with database technologies such as DocumentDB, SQL, DynamoDB, and graph databases like Neptune. Additionally, I bring a strong background in AI/ML, including leveraging large language models (LLMs) and platforms like AWS Bedrock and Claude to design and deploy intelligent, data-driven solutions. Beyond my professional experience, I have explored diverse fields during my undergraduate and master’s studies in Computer Science, including IoT, Data Science, Data Visualization & Analytics, Virtual & Mixed Reality, and Identity & Access Management. This multidisciplinary foundation empowers me to combine insights and create impactful, efficient systems.
