About

I’m a Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building and scaling distributed systems and AI-driven platforms at Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft, and Adobe. At Prime Video, I’ve led initiatives to enhance platform reliability, observability, and developer experience for large-scale video delivery systems. I’ve also built AI-assisted tools that improve incident response and operational efficiency, combining my background in backend engineering with applied machine learning. My experience spans high-performance backend systems, cloud-native architectures (AWS), and applied machine learning, with a passion for designing resilient, efficient, and intelligent software that operates at global scale. I hold a Master’s in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur, where my research focused on machine learning, robotics, and formal verification. I enjoy solving complex distributed systems challenges, mentoring engineers, and working on technology that impacts millions of users. Specialties: Large-scale distributed systems · Backend architecture · AWS · Java/Python/Node.js · AI/ML integration · Resilience and Observability · System Design · Leadership in high-scale environments
