SDE II @ Amazon · Route 53  //  9+ years  //  IIT Kharagpur

I build large-scale distributed systems. Currently working on Amazon Route 53 DNS infrastructure. Over 9+ years I've moved from machine learning through backend and platform engineering into systems that operate at internet scale — I'm drawn to the problems where correctness and scale meet.
