Shashank Kamath — Amazon - Software Development Engineer

I am a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon, specializing in database technologies that support the high-throughput (150+ million requests/sec), low-latency storage infrastructure behind the Amazon.com retail platform. My expertise lies in data migration, data replication, and data authority management. I am currently leading the development of a global datastore that eliminates regional barriers for data access while maintaining consistency, availability, and durability. Additionally, I focus on optimizing the core storage infrastructure, ensuring it remains scalable and efficient as Amazon continues to grow.

In my previous roles at Amazon, I played a critical part in designing and implementing large-scale data replication systems and leading complex data migration initiatives. I developed custom migration tooling and replication strategies that have empowered internal teams to perform seamless transitions while maintaining data integrity across distributed systems. I am proficient in AWS technologies such as DynamoDB, S3, Glue, and Lambda, which I use to build scalable and reliable infrastructure solutions for Amazon’s global operations.

I hold a Master of Science in Computer Engineering, specializing in Machine Learning and Computer Networks, and during my academic journey, I worked extensively on AI and ML technologies.
