Senior Software Development Engineer | Amazon Web Services | Seattle, Washington, United States

I am a Staff/Senior Software Development Engineer at the AWS division in Amazon, Seattle. I have more than 12 years of experience in the IT/software industry, almost 10 of that with Amazon. – For the past 4 years, I’ve been working for AWS, as part of which I am building the “cloud” itself. I solve hard problems in distributed systems and help democratize the cloud for people around the globe. AWS has taught me deep expertise in running software at high scale. – Before that, I spent almost 5 years in the advertising organization of Amazon. As part of that, I built automated systems that advertised for Amazon on social networks (like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc.). These systems would spend XX million dollars a year all without any human involvement! So, they had to be highly optimized on ad targeting, bidding and reporting – and I helped those. – Long before that, I built the mobile business of India’s 2nd biggest e-commerce website from ground up. (You may still find some of my code running on https://www.snapdeal.com/.) I have been deeply involved with the internet for majority of my life. And would love to get an opportunity to contribute back.
