About Shashank Mishra

I have worked as Software Development Engineer II at Amazon AWS, where I built distributed systems that power OpenSearch Serverless at global scale : from designing APIs that handle terabytes of data to optimizing performance that saved customers $8M+. Before AWS, I worked at Razorpay, helping launch products that moved millions in transactions within weeks, and at Publicis Sapient on financial wellness platforms for Goldman Sachs.But my journey didn’t begin in computer science. I studied chemical engineering at BITS Pilani, and through persistence carved a path into software and frontier tech. Along the way, I’ve stayed curious: from taking graduate-level courses in quantum computing to mentoring 20+ students making non-traditional career pivots like mine.Looking ahead, I want to bridge deep tech and entrepreneurship : turning emerging technologies into scalable solutions for global challenges. Whether through capstone projects, startup incubators, or collaborations, I see my next step as exploring frontier domains.At my core, I’m driven by resilience, curiosity, and optimismFavorite anime qoute :\"There is only one thing that matters if you are a shinobi, and it isn\'t the number of jutsu you possess. All you do need, is the guts to never give up.\"- Jiraiya Sensei
