I am a Backend Engineer and Tech Lead at Amazon with over a decade of experience, focused on building resilient, scalable systems in large production environments. I design platforms and APIs that serve hundreds of millions of customers globally, with a strong emphasis on reliability and long-term system health. In my current role, I provide technical leadership by setting architectural direction for new systems and guiding a team of engineers through design and execution. I take end-to-end ownership of services, from design and implementation to operating highly scalable systems in production. My experience spans Java, distributed system architecture, cloud-native design on AWS, and API-driven platforms. I collaborate closely across teams and take pride in mentoring engineers, helping raise engineering standards while delivering impactful software.
