Summary
Samarth J is a versatile software and systems engineer with 10 years of experience building cloud infrastructure and backend systems, currently focused on AWS/Azure environments at Abnormal Security. He has deep end-to-end experience from UI design to low-level memory and execution-unit considerations, honed through roles at AWS and hands-on cloud engineering. Comfortable with unknowns, he thrives on tackling hard problems—designing containerized systems, IAM, networking, IaC, batch processing, and monitoring at scale. His background includes teaching cloud computing at Carnegie Mellon, reflecting both technical depth and an ability to distill complex distributed-systems concepts. Based in Seattle, he blends curiosity-driven learning with practical reliability improvements, often diving into system internals to speed debugging and decision-making. That mix of breadth—from mobile and frontend work early in his career to performance-focused backend engineering—gives him a rare full-stack systems perspective.
