About Robin Kashyap

As a Software Engineer at Amazon with 3+ years of experience, I specialize in backend development using Java, designing scalable systems, and building data-intensive applications. I’ve worked across a wide range of AWS services—including Lambda, EMR, Step Functions, DynamoDB, Glue, S3, CloudWatch, and SQS—developing resilient and efficient distributed systems.My core strengths lie in system design, Java-based development, and big data processing using Apache Spark. I’m also proficient in full-stack development with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node.js, and have built several personal projects that reflect my passion for clean architecture and learning new technologies.Outside of work, I’ve been active in competitive programming and problem-solving, which has honed my analytical skills and deepened my understanding of algorithms and data structures.I’m always looking to connect with professionals working on impactful, large-scale systems or interesting open-source projects.
