About Sheekha Jariwala

Software Development Engineer with experience building, scaling, and operating distributed systems in production. Currently working on AWS S3, where I design and deliver infrastructure components that improve scalability, reliability, and developer productivity at global scale.My work spans system architecture, performance optimization, and operational ownership. I’ve led initiatives such as designing metadata compression systems to extend long-term scalability, improving region-build and deployment pipelines used by multiple dependent services, and building production-like test environments to support CI validation and developer workflows.I have strong experience owning production services, driving incident response, improving observability, and ensuring system correctness across large-scale data platforms. I also enjoy mentoring engineers and contributing to design reviews for distributed systems.
