Summary
Mitesh Patekar is a Software Development Engineer II based in Chicago with over a decade of experience building cloud-native, IoT, and DevOps solutions, currently driving scalability and cost optimizations on Alexa’s core services at Amazon. He has architected high-throughput distributed systems—designing pub/sub and caching platforms that scale to hundreds of thousands of TPS—and led large-scale decoupling and traffic migrations across global regions. Prior to Amazon he built Azure-first IoT and Bot solutions, automated CI/CD pipelines, and delivered real-time telemetry and device management systems for enterprise customers. He combines deep hands-on engineering in C#, Java, Docker/ECS/Fargate, Kinesis, Redis and Azure Platform services with operational ownership of high-velocity pipelines and game-day load testing. Notably, his logging and performance improvements at Alexa yielded a ~30% TPS-per-host gain and roughly $600k annual infrastructure savings, reflecting a practical focus on both performance and cost.
