About Shachi Shah

As someone who thrives on the challenge of building systems that scale effectively, I’ve spent my career crafting the backbone of technology at both Amazon and Oracle. My journey began with a deep fascination for how things work under the hood—especially when it comes to distributed systems and real-time data platforms. Over the past five years, I’ve had the opportunity to architect solutions that not only reduce operational overhead by up to 40%, but also empower teams with large-scale analytics capabilities. At Oracle, I\'ve honed my skills even further by cutting CI/CD rollback time from 200 minutes to 45 minutes. This optimization has been crucial for my team’s efficiency when dealing with multi-region infrastructures. One of my proudest achievements was developing a self-service limit management system that significantly decreased manual requests from 3,500 per month to a more manageable figure. It’s these kinds of tangible improvements that fuel my passion for technology. My time at Amazon was equally rewarding; I created global templates which streamlined sorting strategies for Prime locations—saving marketers over 50% in template recreation time across regions. These experiences have taught me that effective collaboration and innovative problem-solving are key ingredients in delivering high-quality software solutions. When I\'m not immersed in code or troubleshooting complex systems, I enjoy sharing knowledge with others.When I\'m not immersed in code or troubleshooting complex systems, I enjoy sharing knowledge with others.

Experience

1. Senior Software Engineer

   Oracle

   Nov 2024 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   As a Senior Software Engineer at Oracle, the focus has been on enhancing deployment processes and building scalable systems. A significant achievement was reducing CI/CD rollback time by an impressive 78%, transforming it from 200 minutes down to just 45 minutes. This optimization not only improved release reliability but also streamlined our multi-region infrastructure operations. Building a self-service limit management system was another highlight; this initiative cut down manual requests by an astounding 85%, allowing the team to focus on more strategic tasks rather than repetitive administrative work. Additionally, employing AI-driven debugging techniques led to a notable stabilization of deployments—reducing canary failure rates by 20% and overall build failures by 30%. The integration of advanced AI tools for automated testing further enhanced our development process, increasing code merge frequency by 25%. Collaborating closely with security teams to set up a pentesting environment ensured our systems met stringent security standards while maintaining operational efficiency. This role has been about pushing boundaries in software engineering while fostering an environment of innovation and collaboration.Competencies: CI/CD Optimization, AI-Driven Debugging Techniques, Cloud-Native Architecture (AWS & OCI), Distributed Systems Design, Security Compliance
