About Rohit Kumar

I\'m a Software Development Manager with 15 years of software engineering experience, currently leading an 11-member engineering team building the myQ Video Platform at Chamberlain Group — a multi-tenant SaaS platform powering real-time video streaming, IoT device management, and smart video analytics for 2.5M+ connected devices across residential, commercial, and enterprise segments.My career spans deep hands-on Java expertise (Java 17/21, Spring Boot, Kafka, gRPC, Kubernetes, AWS) combined with 3+ years of direct engineering leadership — people management, Agile delivery, and technical strategy. At Publicis Sapient, I led engineering delivery for a compliance-driven FinTech engagement, managing end-to-end sprint execution for a 5–6 person team, and spent 2 years onsite in Boston, USA collaborating with US-based stakeholders. What I bring to the table:→ People & Delivery Leadership: Structured 1:1s, performance reviews, career development, hiring pipelines, sprint planning, and stakeholder communication across geographies.→ Architecture & Engineering: Monolith-to-microservices migration using gRPC standardization, multi-tenant Kafka SDKs, OAuth2/JWT-based security, and platform-wide observability (OpenTelemetry + Datadog).→ Cloud-Native at Scale: Deep AWS experience (EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, SQS, SNS, IoT Core, KVS, Step Functions, CloudFormation, DynamoDB) — designing, deploying, and optimizing SaaS/PaaS/IaaS infrastructure for cost, performance, and reliability.→ Delivery & Operations: CI/CD automation, production incident management, blameless post-mortems, disaster recovery, and proactive risk management.→ AI-Augmented Engineering: Leveraging GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenAI API, and LangChain to accelerate prototyping, code review, and team productivity.I\'m passionate about building high-performing engineering teams, delivering predictable outcomes, and shipping platforms that work at scale. Always open to connecting with fellow engineering leaders, product thinkers, and anyone building something ambitious.Let\'s connect — r••••••••@outlook.com
