About Saurabh Yadav

I am a Senior Software Engineer currently working at Confluent, building scalable systems and solving challenging distributed systems problems. Prior to this, I worked at Amazon where I was part of a core team handling the creation and ingestion of invoices for Amazon Shipping and third-party carriers.At Amazon, I led multiple initiatives, including designing a granular rate-limiting library adopted across five major services, optimising ElasticSearch cluster indexing reducing shard count by 90% and data nodes by 50%, and architecting a secure multilingual scripting platform for production use. I engineered DynamoDB solutions for managing oversized payloads using AWS S3, improved large messages processing times by 30x, and streamlined peak traffic handling for major sale events like Prime Day and Black Friday.Beyond backend system design and operational excellence, I have experience working with AWS technologies (DynamoDB, S3, Lambda, ECS, Step Functions), Spring Boot, ElasticSearch, and large-scale distributed systems.I am passionate about building reliable, performant systems and continuously learning to improve architecture, scalability, and developer productivity.
