As an accomplished engineer at Amazon, I play a vital role in managing and maintaining 16+ backend services, ensuring their uptime meets the exacting Five 9's target. As a dedicated member of the on-call rotation team, I proactively address production issues during my shifts, maintaining seamless operations.
I take charge of end-to-end features that require interaction with business areas. In this capacity, I create comprehensive System Design documents to showcase the business impacts, risks, and architectural changes to stakeholders, including Product Owners and Project Managers.
My commitment to excellence extends to software development, where I meticulously follow best practices and engineering principles such as SOLID, KISS, and DRY. My code is highly robust and thoroughly tested, with a test coverage consistently exceeding 90% across various testing types like unit, integration, performance, and QA. My programming expertise includes Golang, Java, and TypeScript.
Collaborating effectively with various teams, I oversee feature deployments and closely liaise with QA, Project Managers, and third-party areas to ensure successful GO/NO-GO decisions. Throughout the production deployment process, I actively monitor the overall health of services, ensuring a seamless experience for our users.
Furthermore, I possess a flair for building graphical dashboards that extract and display crucial information about each service, encompassing P9X, the health status of hosts, latency, CPU utilization, and more. I achieve this by leveraging Infrastructure as Code using Typescript and AWS-CDK.
My prowess extends to building extensive and complex infrastructure on AWS, utilizing CDK, LPT, and CF templates, contributing to the optimization and scalability of our systems.
