I'm a General Manager of NoSQL (DynamoDB, ElastiCache) and QuickSight in Amazon. I manage the engineering, product management and operations for core AWS database services that are the foundational building blocks for AWS: DynamoDB, AWS Transactional Services (Paxos based lock services, replication infrastructure), Elasticache (in-memory engines), SimpleDB, AWS availability platform, Amazon TechOps, and Amazon QuickSight. In addition to these, I was part of the team that built several AWS Services like CloudFront, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, Amazon's Paxos based lock service, original Amazon Dynamo etc. I was also one of the main authors for Amazon Dynamo paper (http://bit.ly/1mDs0Yh) along with Werner Vogels. Amazon Dynamo now is the foundation for many other NoSQL systems like Riak, Cassandra and Voldemort. I have authored around 40 referred papers and journals and more than 100 patents, and participate in several academic circles and conferences. If you are looking to join a team that is building something big, reach out to me - swami@amazon.com or swamis@gmail.com. Note about openings: We are looking to fill a role of Director of Engineering. The ideal candidate will be some passionate about building large scale distributed systems with proven track record of building awesome products and manage large teams. I also have bunch of leadership roles and IC roles available in my team. If interested, please email me.

General Manager @ I'm a General Manager (and Director) of NoSQL and some Big data services in Amazon. I manage the engineering, product management and operations for core AWS database services that are the foundational building blocks for AWS: DynamoDB, AWS Transactional Services (Paxos based lock services, replication infrastructure), Elasticache (in-memory engines), SimpleDB, AWS availability platform, Amazon TechOps, and a few other services in works. I have built several large scale systems in the past. Some of the well known ones (that is externally visible) include Amazon Dynamo and DynamoDB, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon RDS, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon's core Paxos infra and Amazon SNS Mobile Push. He has also built other large scale systems that is used for building Amazon service infrastructure including its core distributed lock service infrastructure. He is also one of the main authors of Amazon Dynamo paper (along with Werner Vogels) that was published in SOSP 2007 and became the foundation of several other NoSQL stores. For more information on DynamoDB, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz-7wJJ9HZ0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjJ3Dkl6VS4 For Elasticache, see: http://aws.amazon.com/elasticache/ To build a 1TB cache in a matter of minutes, use Elasticache: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FQAtbgXrdY Product pages for services I manage: http://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/ http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/ http://aws.amazon.com/elasticache/ From January 2010 to Present (6 years) Greater Seattle AreaPrincipal Engineer in Cloud Computing Services @ Reporting to the CTO; Working on design, implementation and analysis of several distributed systems technology within my organization. Launched multiple cloud services like AWS CloudFront, Amazon RDS and influenced launch of several other AWS services. From April 2008 to May 2010 (2 years 2 months) Senior Research Engineer @ Reporting to the CTO; Working on design, implementation and analysis of several distributed systems technology within my organization. From November 2006 to April 2008 (1 year 6 months) Independent consultant @ Served as a consultant for several distributed systems projects in various companies like Amazon.com and others. Was doing this as a part time while finishing my Ph.D. From August 2005 to October 2006 (1 year 3 months) Amsterdam Area, NetherlandsResearch Engineer Intern @ Worked on design and implementation of some scalable distributed systems. The work has led to couple of patent applications and the real systems will go to production environment pretty soon. From June 2005 to September 2005 (4 months) Software Research Co-op @ Worked on design and implementation of a new Grid system called Melody that combined the approaches of virtualized execution environments with P2P technologies to build a scalable distributed system platform for executing Grid jobs. Work led to a patent and couple of publications in premium distributed systems conferences. From May 2003 to August 2003 (4 months) Software Research Co-op @ Worked on design and implementation of a new Grid system called Harmony and Melody that combined the approaches of virtualized execution environments with P2P technologies to build a scalable distributed system platform for executing Grid jobs. The project has led to two patent inventions and products are out in the pipeline. From May 2002 to August 2002 (4 months) Software Intern @ Worked on improving the scalability of LInux kernel for high end multiprocessor servers. Designed and implemented a multi-queue linux scheduler for SMPs. Also, invented, designed and implemented a new synchronization mechanisms called Fairlocks that performed more efficient than exisiting spinlocks for NUMA multiprocessor servers. This led to a patent granted (US Patent# 6779090). From May 2001 to August 2001 (4 months)
