Summary
Payal Zanwar is a Senior Software Engineer with seven years of hands-on experience building full-stack SaaS and cross-platform mobile solutions, currently driving product and architecture at Cumulus Digital Systems in Boston. She designs and ships micro front-end React apps and Node/GraphQL backends for mission-critical, high-volume workflows, and holds a patent pending for Cumulus Workflow that guides safety-critical operations. Payal blends deep AWS expertise (Lambda, SQS, AppSync, CloudFront) with pragmatic performance work—caching, paginated queries, and transaction builders tied to global secondary indexes—to scale multi-tenant systems. She’s led migrations from monoliths to JS microservices, introduced libraries that cut alarms 60%, and mentors engineers while owning API, testing, and CI improvements. A Northeastern MSIS graduate with a background in integration and message-driven systems, she also brings a knack for turning operational pain points into repeatable engineering assets (e.g., an Athena connector for DynamoDB-driven reporting).
