About Priyadrasta Raut

I\'m a backend engineer with about 4 years of experience, the last two of which were at Amazon working on payment systems. Most of what I\'ve built sits in the event-driven, microservices space — SNS/SQS pipelines, workflow orchestration, merchant onboarding integrations, that kind of work. The domain being payments means the bar for correctness is high, and I\'ve learned a lot from the times things didn\'t go as planned in production. I work primarily in Java and Spring Boot, with most of my cloud experience on AWS. I\'m comfortable owning a feature end-to-end — from design and API contracts through to deployment and monitoring. I\'ve also had to collaborate across teams on shared systems, which has taught me that good engineering isn\'t just about the code. I did my M.Tech from IIT Patna and cleared GATE 2021 with AIR 760, which gave me a solid grounding in CS fundamentals before I got into industry. I\'m currently looking for a Senior SDE role, ideally on a backend or platform team working on distributed systems or infrastructure. I want to work somewhere the problems have some real complexity to them. If something seems like a fit, feel free to reach out at r••••••••@gmail.com or message me here.
