Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAvinder Bahra is a Director and seasoned backend engineer with over a decade of production Scala experience and more than 30 years of JVM-focused software development, specializing in high-volume distributed systems and event-driven architectures. He architects and builds serverless AWS microservices and data pipelines using Scala (now Scala 3), Kafka/Kinesis, DynamoDB and Postgres, applying DDD, CQRS and event sourcing to solve complex domain problems. His recent roles include building scalable subscription-platform services at Disney+ and leading current work on large-scale data processing at ICE. An active open-source maintainer, he leads the ZIO DynamoDB library and co-maintains ZIO Kinesis, reflecting a commitment to functional Scala tooling beyond day-to-day delivery. Based in the UK, he pairs deep hands-on technical craft with leadership as Director of Serverside Consulting Ltd, and—perhaps unexpectedly—brings a long career breadth that spans enterprise Java architecture to modern functional Scala.
