Top SchoolKumar Amit is a software engineer based in Seattle with five years of experience building high-throughput, cloud-native services at Facebook and Microsoft. He has a strong systems and backend focus—designing Azure-hosted microservices, optimizing authorization pipelines to handle thousands of RPS, and cutting API latencies by up to 3x while lowering operational cost. His skill set spans Java, C/C++, Python, C#, CUDA and SQL, and he has a track record of shipping reusable distributed libraries (JWT caching, telemetry, REST clients) used across many internal services. Earlier work includes real-time ingestion and conflation pipelines for large-scale content delivery and a security-focused proxy tool built during an internship. Trained with a MS in Computer Science from Stony Brook, he combines performance-conscious engineering with hands-on experience across cloud, low-level systems, and telemetry.
