Summary
Jignesh Modi is a pragmatic software developer with nine years of experience building scalable back-end systems and responsive web applications, currently contributing to AWS as a Software Development Engineer. He combines academic research—co-authoring work on resource distribution algorithms at USC’s ICAROS Lab—with hands-on production experience at AWS Core Network, where he helped analyze and visualize infrastructure that serves a significant portion of global internet traffic. Jignesh has led teams to deliver microservice architectures and high-throughput Node.js APIs, and he designed a resilient EHR backend that supported tens of thousands of refugees in Greece. Comfortable across JavaScript, Java, Python, C++, MongoDB, Docker, and cloud platforms, he pairs experimental research (reinforcement learning agents for game turn-taking) with pragmatic engineering to ship reliable systems. Known for a get-it-done mentality, he also brings startup and product-building instincts from co-founding HolaGrad and leading developer teams that reduce delivery time and improve uptime.
