Experience

1. Software Development Manager

   Amazon

   Dec 2022 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   I lead a two pizza team that builds features for the Amazon\'s consumer vertical\'s server-less compute platform. Our unique declarative programming language is used to query NoSQL databases and co hosted execution engines run our customers business logic millions of times every second. This server-less platform enables productivity and efficiency by optimizing business logic execution, eliminating boilerplate code, reducing network bandwidth, latency, and serialization overhead.During my tenure of managing this team, I have lead multiple initiatives and successfully delivered the same to our customers. These initiatives include converting single threaded and blocking execution to multithreaded execution, unifying the deployments for variety of personas using the platform, delivering high quality features to our customers, improving efficiency by devising and delivering consistent IO caches and making services region agnostic. Overall the platform growth is more that 50% YoY and I am actively leading efforts to deprecate legacy platform and move customers to new one.
