Key Strengths

  • Designed and delivered event-driven AI video generation backend on AWS (Lambda + ECS) using FastAPI/Node.js
  • Production reliability engineering: JWT/API Gateway auth, timeouts, exponential-backoff retries, structured logging, CloudWatch monitoring and Slack alerting
  • Infrastructure-as-code and automated deployments (Terraform + GitHub Actions) for Lambda and container services
  • ETL/data pipeline ownership with AWS Glue including schema evolution resilience and data quality validation
  • Legacy SAS workflow modernization to Python with parity testing on historical data and parallel run cutover
  • SQL performance optimization (reduced reporting query runtime from >60s to <10s via indexing and batching)
  • Incident response for batch/data pipeline failures: rapid triage via CloudWatch, mitigation via reruns, and prevention via improved monitoring and input validation
