Summary
Harsh Harwani is a Software Development Manager at AWS with 11 years of experience designing and operating large-scale, mission-critical distributed systems for cloud networking and payments. He leads a 14-engineer team building distribution-plane services that stream secure, real-time networking configurations to EC2 instances and enable intra-region data-plane communication. Previously he reduced on-call load by 50%, cut p100 GC spikes in half, and pioneered configuration-driven migrations that eliminated disruptive deployments. His background spans payments and compliance platforms—launching multi-currency disbursements that processed $250M in the first year and building a declarative verification platform to slash time-to-market for new products and countries. Based in Seattle, he blends hands-on engineering, operational rigor, and mentorship to deliver resilient, high-performance cloud services.
