@shanmugarajanmuthupa
Senior software engineer and technical leader driving scalable systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Engineer and technical leader with 20+ years architecting resilient, scalable systems across the full technology stack. I specialize in backend design (Java, Kotlin, Python, Rust) and have expanding full‑stack capabilities, mentoring high‑performing teams, setting engineering standards, and translating complex requirements into maintainable solutions that drive business impact.
My recent work includes designing and developing production services with Rust (Actix Web) for AI product integrations, leading integrations between enterprise products, and delivering large scale projects at AmazonFresh — from service design and data engineering to A/B testing and security certification. I take pride in mentoring engineers, establishing best practices, and contributing to patents and cross‑market product launches.
