Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoel Kumar is a Software Development Engineer with a decade of experience building scalable, cost-efficient back-end systems and APIs, currently at Amazon in Seattle. He has a strong track record of reducing operational costs and improving reliability—examples include an 80% cost reduction on a Redshift access automation at Amazon and a 60% operations-cost cut via automation at Shubh Loans.

He moves comfortably between prototyping ML-driven solutions and production engineering, having built an SVM ticket classifier and in-house credit and penny-drop systems. A technology enthusiast who’s consistently focused on simplicity and resilience, he also brings teaching experience in data structures and algorithms that sharpens his code quality and mentorship.
