- Reduced Cosmos DB cost ~30% via partition key/index/query optimization and batching/backpressure fixes
- Designed reliable multi-step workflow with persisted state, idempotency, and robust retry/stop logic
- Designed DynamoDB schema/indexes to support ~250–300 R/W per second
- Strong production readiness practices: observability (Prometheus/Grafana), structured logs/correlation IDs, health checks, rate limiting, CI + layered testing
