Ravali Aleti

About

Backend/data engineer focused on AWS-based Python services and data pipelines: built a Django/DRF user management/auth platform deployed with serverless AWS (Lambda/API Gateway) and event-driven workflows (Step Functions/EventBridge), with CloudFormation + Jenkins for automated delivery and Secrets Manager/Parameter Store for secure config. Also delivered AWS Glue ETL from S3 to RDS with schema evolution controls and incident-driven improvements, and has demonstrated measurable SQL tuning impact (minutes-to-seconds).

Key Strengths

• Built and deployed a Python/Django user management & authentication platform on AWS (API Gateway, Lambda, EC2, S3, RDS)
• Implemented auth using Django auth with token-based authentication and RBAC
• Production reliability practices: retries/timeouts, structured error handling, and CloudWatch logging/alarms
• Serverless delivery with IaC (CloudFormation) and CI/CD (Jenkins), including secrets management (Secrets Manager/Parameter Store)
• Designed event-driven workflows using Step Functions and EventBridge
• AWS Glue ETL from S3 to RDS with crawlers/Data Catalog, schema evolution handling, data validation, and job bookmarks for recovery
• Modernized legacy business logic into maintainable Python services with parity testing and phased migration
• SQL performance tuning: added indexes to eliminate full table scans, reducing a report query from minutes to seconds
• Owned and remediated a Glue ETL production failure caused by source schema change; added preventative schema validation and alerts
