Shubham Katiyar — Director of Engineering
I bring 16+ years of executive leadership experience at Amazon, working across AWS, Alexa, and AGI. Currently, I lead Runtime Infrastructure and Inference for Amazon's Nova foundation models, architecting both the systems and algorithms that power next-generation AI experiences across all modalities. My research spans breakthrough inference techniques like multi-stage disaggregation, 5D parallelism and speculative decoding, hardware-software co-design for distributed architectures, and novel approaches to multimodal processing. Through close collaboration with academic researchers and publication of our innovations, we advance the field while delivering practical solutions for millions of users through Amazon Bedrock and specialized applications like Alexa+, Prime Video, and Ads.I manage organization of engineers, applied scientists, and technical program managers, to balance fundamental research with rapid productionization of breakthrough techniques. My approach combines deep expertise in distributed systems optimization with strategic research investments in emerging areas like inference-time scaling and reasoning algorithms. Whether we're researching AI systems, or developing real-time streaming algorithms that handle unprecedented Internal scale of millions or requests/seconds and terabits data throughput/sec, I focus on research that creates both scientific advancement and measurable business impact. I'm passionate about building the foundational research and technologies that will define how AI systems scale and perform in the next decade.
