Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShitanshu Aggarwal is a senior software leader with 15 years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems at Amazon, currently managing multiple teams for DynamoDB features like Streams, Kinesis integration, and Global Tables. He progressed from intern to senior manager, blending deep hands-on engineering (SDE3) with people leadership and platform ownership (SDM3 → Sr. SDM). His work spans high-throughput NoSQL transactions, low-latency streaming, geo-replication, and CI/CD improvements that launched major database products such as Aurora and DynamoDB-backed services. He has a strong background in architecting ML-enabled data pipelines, transactional libraries for DynamoDB, and service-oriented re-architectures for rapid business expansion. Based in Seattle, he pairs an MS in Computer Science from the University of Washington with a BA in Computer Science & Neuroscience, bringing both systems-level rigor and cross-disciplinary curiosity to problem solving. An underappreciated strength: he repeatedly surfaces operational friction and drives pragmatic tooling and process changes that accelerate feature delivery across organizations.
