About Nihal Gajbhiye
Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and high-throughput data platforms.At Amazon, I design and optimize large-scale serverless workflows processing millions of events, cutting end-to-end latency from 8 hours to 4 hours through concurrency tuning and throttling elimination. I’ve led migrations from monolithic Step Functions + RDS pipelines to scalable, event-triggered architectures with SNS, SQS, Lambda, and DynamoDB, improving reliability, cost efficiency, and operational visibility.Previously, I built high-performance FastAPI services (50% faster response times) and automated cloud-native data pipelines that increased ingestion capacity by 75%, while strengthening CI/CD, test coverage, and container scalability.I’m passionate about building reliable, observable, and performance-efficient systems at scale.
