Developer Advocate with an engineer's résumé. AWS Glue Subject-Matter Expert, 2x AWS Summit Bengaluru speaker, and Organizer of AWS User Group Surat — six years of production AWS turned into talks, workshops, and stories worth telling.
I started attending AWS meetups as an outsider — before I had a job. That community-first mindset has defined my entire career.
At Credibly (Retail Capital LLC) I designed and delivered the company's first production AWS data lake from scratch — introducing Change Data Capture as a brand-new platform capability and unlocking deeply nested DynamoDB data the analytics team could never query before. That work became my AWS Summit Bengaluru 2026 conference talk.
Before that I was at AWS India as a Big Data Cloud Engineer, accredited as a Glue Subject-Matter Expert — the deepest technical Glue designation in the team — authoring AWS Knowledge Center articles read by thousands and mentoring engineers across the org. I received the Rising Star award for top performance.
In parallel, I grew AWS User Group Surat to 3,350+ members, spoke at AWS Summit Bengaluru in 2025 and 2026, and host the BeSA "I Am a Cloud Builder" series. I know how to ship the hard technical stuff — and how to explain it to a room full of developers in a way that actually lands.
Right now I'm focused on roles where the deliverable is a developer's success: Developer Relations, DevRel Program Management, and GTM Engineering.
Designed and delivered the company's first production data lake on AWS — CDC pipelines for Aurora MySQL, a DynamoDB data lake exposing current and historical states, and the whole production account codified in CloudFormation across 8+ stacks. Authored architecture papers (DMS Serverless vs Aurora Zero-ETL, MCA1 migration) that shaped multi-quarter platform decisions and became my Summit 2026 talk.
Worked on AWS Glue and MWAA at depth — PySpark jobs landing into Iceberg, Delta, Redshift, and Snowflake; cross-account Glue catalog sharing via Lake Formation; the public AWS Knowledge Center article on Glue HTTP timeouts; an MWAA plugin-packaging tool adopted as the team's standard ramp-up path; and enablement sessions for engineers across the org.
AWS infrastructure consulting and cost-optimization engagements for clients across geographies. Perfect 5-star rating across all orders.
Built and shipped serverless SaaS on AWS with Node.js and the Serverless Framework, with hands-on CI/CD across CodeCommit, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline, and CodeBuild.
Specifics matter more than buzzwords. Each of these is a real production deliverable with measurable outcomes — not a side-project demo.
Greenfield production AWS account stood up entirely through CloudFormation — no console changes — with enforced naming conventions and parameterized per-environment deploys.
Full-load + CDC ingestion for deeply nested DynamoDB tables — nanosecond-precision timestamps, schema evolution, deduplication, and primary-key consistency, queryable via Glue Catalog and Athena.
The comparative evaluation that helped engineering leadership choose a migration path — cost, complexity, operational fit, and a phased rollout, paired with an RDS-to-S3 PoC.
Internal tool at AWS India that packages Python .whl dependencies as MWAA plugins — eliminating Docker local-runner setup. Adopted as the standard ramp-up path for private MWAA work.
I build CDC pipelines for a living — so here's my community history as one. Every INSERT is a first; every UPDATE is growth. AWS Community Builder since 2021, UG Surat Organizer, 2x Summit speaker.
A deep technical talk drawn directly from the production CDC platform I built at Credibly — dual-target endpoint design, latency vs catalog-churn tradeoffs, and running DMS at production scale.
