@deepashettar
Experienced full‑stack software engineer specializing in cloud‑native, serverless architectures and technical leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced and impact-driven software engineer with 13+ years in full‑stack development, cloud‑native and event‑driven serverless architectures, having delivered scalable systems at companies like Salesforce, Amazon, and Intuit.
As a technical lead and scrum lead, I drive cross‑functional teams to deliver high‑quality features on time, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to roadmap and hiring efforts while improving team velocity and processes.
I have a strong track record optimizing system performance—examples include a 3x improvement in graph materialization time and multi‑second GET latency reductions—using AWS services, Apache Spark, and Alluxio.
I thrive in both startup‑like and enterprise environments, embrace ownership and bias for action, and quickly adapt to new domains and technologies to deliver measurable business impact.
