Hello, I am

Shloka Jaywant
Backend, Cloud & Data Platform Engineer

I build distributed backend systems
and cloud-based data pipelines for
high-volume production workloads.

5+ years experience building and operating backend services, production systems and AWS-native pipelines that handle sustained load, evolving data requirements, and real-world failure conditions, across multiple customer-facing products.

Focus Areas

What I build.

Serverless Data Pipelines
End-to-end data ingestion and transformation on AWS — Lambda, Kinesis Firehose, S3, Glue, and Athena working together to move raw events into queryable, structured data at scale.
Distributed Backend Systems
High-throughput APIs and event-driven backends designed for reliability under load. Failure modes planned from day one, not bolted on after the first incident.
Data Platform Architecture
Designing the storage, processing, and access layers that let data consumers — analysts, ML teams, product — actually trust the numbers they're looking at.
Cloud Infrastructure & Cost Engineering
Infrastructure that's right-sized for the workload, not over-provisioned for comfort. Trade-offs between serverless and containerised, between cost and latency, documented and defensible.
