I'm Nirmesh Khandelwal, a Senior Software Engineer at AWS Aurora Storage with 10+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems. I've led multiple critical initiatives at AWS including zero-ETL integrations between Aurora and Redshift, and previously served as Tech Lead for several major features of AWS Timestream including backup/restore capabilities and customer-defined partition keys. I hold a patent for data organization and partitioning solutions in distributed systems.
I'm passionate about mentoring and enjoy sharing my experiences in distributed systems design, cloud architecture, and career growth in big tech. Having progressed from an intern to senior engineer at Amazon, I can provide guidance on career development, technical leadership, and navigating large organizations. I'm happy to help with interview preparation, resume reviews, and general career advice for those interested in cloud/distributed systems roles.
Areas I can mentor in: Distributed systems design and implementation Cloud architecture (particularly AWS services) Technical leadership and project management Career growth in big tech Interview preparation (system design and coding)
Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss any of these areas!
