About Me

Shubham Darekar

I build systems that scale.

I'm a Software Development Engineer at Amazon Web Services in Seattle, building high-scale, event-driven backends and GenAI services on Amazon Bedrock that Amazon engineers rely on every day.

Before Amazon, I spent three years at MAQ Software, a Microsoft partner, building cloud data platforms on Azure. I hold an MS in Computer Science from the University of Southern California.
