About Navendra Jha

Hi, Thanks for stopping by!I\'m a Software Development Manager at Amazon Consumer Payments org and currently working on making it easy to get paid in preferred currency globally. I have 6+ years of software development experience with around 3 years of work experience on Mobile development and 3 years of work experience on distributed systems at Amazon scale. I have also started talking about my professional experiences and learning here on LinkedIn but all opinions are mine and am not speaking on behalf of my employer.Outside of my work, I mostly am interested in stories. I like reading them, watching them on screen or in-person at theaters. My all time favorite is Dune (both books and movie). Feel free to reach out if you want to talk about FinTech, Web3 or just to say hello :)
