Software Development Engineer at AWS and Slice who rebuilt asset replication for 400M+ records and shipped payments fraud decisioning.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Amazon Web Services, I rebuilt the replication system for a system of record covering 400M+ physical assets. I moved records into four government-regulated regions, reducing replication latency from 24 hours to 30 minutes.
I also designed the purchase order lifecycle backend and replaced a 10-page procurement workflow with a single-page platform. The platform cut PO creation time from 30 minutes to 5 and support tickets by 80%.
At Slice, I implemented the backend integration for Account Aggregator onboarding and shipped a fraud-check API for merchant transactions. I’m seeking SDE-2 backend ownership and am available immediately.

Implemented end-to-end backend integration for the Account Aggregator (AA) flow, handling asynchronous callbacks, secure data ingestion and state-driven validations. Shipped the fraud-check API, unblocking Slice's merchant launch.
Rebuilt the replication system behind AWS's system of record for 400M+ physical assets, moving records into four government-regulated regional data centres. Architected the purchase order lifecycle on a serverless backend and drove the org-wide API contract change for asset data.
Reduced purchase-order search latency from 20s to <2s across 10M+ records by replacing a legacy Ruby on Rails/Solr monolith with a React.js + GraphQL and Java + Elasticsearch search service and S3-backed Excel bulk exports.
