Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSwapnil Dhanwal is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable backend and distributed systems across ad tech, IoT, and cloud platforms, currently working in Amazon's Traffic Engineering org. He has delivered production systems for campaign management and ad delivery at Activision Blizzard Media, recommendation and orchestration services at Flipkart, and ZigBee-based IoT networking at Samsung R&D. Comfortable across Java, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes and major cloud providers, he combines data-driven optimizations (e.g., reducing HDFS/ES usage and API latencies substantially) with developer productivity improvements like a reusable Spark wrapper adopted across teams. A USC MSCS graduate, he pairs academic research experience—optimizing asynchronous patent-data processing—with hands-on mentoring and cross-team rollout strategies that enable low-friction deployments. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends systems-level rigor with product-minded pragmatism, often surfacing non-obvious optimizations that cut infrastructure costs and developer turnaround time.
