Architect and implement serverless, event-driven, and containerized cloud applications using AWS services (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, S3, ECS/EKS)
Build robust, secure, and high-performance cloud-native solutions, leveraging both front-end (Angular, TypeScript) and back-end (Node.js, Java, RESTful APIs) technologies
Lead the design and integration of Generative AI workflows leveraging Amazon Bedrock, RAG pipelines, and knowledge-base-driven context engineering for intelligent, reliable, and extensible AI solutions
Develop and maintain internal frameworks, reusable modules, and developer platforms to enhance developer experience, maintainability, and cloud efficiency
Implement multi-tier architectures and RESTful microservices, integrating with upstream and downstream systems
Manage databases with Amazon RDS (MySQL/PostgreSQL), DynamoDB, and Aurora, including both SQL and NoSQL modeling
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines and apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using Terraform and CloudFormation
