Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohit Thotakura is a software engineer with a decade of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems at AWS, focused primarily on AWS Lambda's invoke routing and workload routing. He has progressed from individual contributor roles to leading the Invoke Routing team, combining hands-on engineering—especially around scale, availability, and performance—with people leadership and hiring. Rohit previously designed an automated testing platform for EBS dataplane engineers, enabling more reliable releases through standardized load, stress, and canary testing.

Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic systems builder who pairs deep distributed-systems expertise with a talent for operationalizing complex workflows.
