About

I’m a Software Development Engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS) working in the Payments domain, where I build large-scale, low-latency, highly reliable distributed systems that support customers and businesses across the world. Over the past 9+ years, I’ve worked across product-based companies and high-growth environments — including AWS, PharmEasy, and SAP — building systems that require precision, reliability, and long-term thinking. My work spans system design, backend engineering, API platforms, fault tolerance, and driving improvements in availability and operational excellence. I enjoy solving complex, ambiguous problems, diving deep into customer issues, and designing systems that scale beyond current needs. I take pride in ownership, delivering high-quality engineering, and raising the bar for myself and my team. Areas I’m passionate about: • Distributed systems & high-scale architectures • Payments, transaction processing & system reliability • Reducing operational load and improving system health • Designing long-term, extensible solutions • Mentoring engineers and contributing to team culture • Clear communication & driving cross-team alignment I’m currently focused on building resilient payment experiences for AWS customers and growing toward senior and leadership roles within Amazon. Always open to connecting with fellow engineers, product leaders, and builders.
