Summary
Aakash S is a Software Development Engineer at AWS with four years of hands-on experience building cloud-native services and scalable distributed systems. A Northeastern Computer Science master's student with a strong engineering foundation from D J Sanghvi College, he has improved performance and reduced costs in production by profiling bottlenecks, slimming deployment packages, and optimizing throughput. His background includes building DynamoDB-backed APIs, serverless Lambdas, and data pipelines that process microscope data with daily cron ingestion and ML-backed analytics for a web app. He has taught scalable systems as a TA and brought practical UX and concurrency fixes to research GUIs, including semaphore-based deadlock prevention and proactive failure warnings. Based in Seattle, he blends rigorous academia with pragmatic product-minded engineering and describes himself humorously as a hobby developer who keeps pushing through the struggle to write better code.
