# Tanishq Shaikh > SDE @ Amazon | React, Java, Python, AWS, Kubernetes Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/tanishq I am a software engineer with a passion for creating innovative and user-friendly web applications using cutting-edge technologies. I have a master's degree in computer science from the University of Florida, where I gained a solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles. Currently, I work as a software engineer at UF Information Technology (UFIT), where I contribute to the maintenance and enhancement of various REST APIs using Java, J2EE, and Spring technologies. I also introduced new API endpoints in the Learning Management System (LMS) for facilitating seamless submission creation and update via IBM Integration Bus (IIB) integration. Additionally, I ensured high availability of applications by setting up Kubernetes pods with auto-scaling, resulting in a 25% improvement in system responsiveness during peak traffic. Previously, I worked as a software development engineer intern at Amazon, where I automated the process of re-driving stuck regulatory reports from the SQS-DLQ, saving 500+ hours of the on-call engineers. I also developed a full-CD pipeline for operational tools using AWS CDK, Lambda, and API Gateway, and designed a frontend UI in React using the Redux pattern. Through these projects, I enhanced my skills in AWS, Python, C++, and DevOps, and learned how to deliver high-quality software products in a fast-paced and customer-centric environment. My goal is to leverage my technical skills and experience to create impactful solutions that deliver outstanding value to users. I am actively seeking full-time opportunities that will challenge me and allow me to grow as a software engineer. I am eager to learn new technologies and collaborate with talented teams to solve complex problems. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Amazon Jan 2024 – Present | New York City Metropolitan Area ### Full Stack Developer @ BDIPlus Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | New York City Metropolitan Area - Engineered Java modules to enable rapid data exchange between RDBMS and file systems, achieving sub-2 second response times, and optimizing overall system performance. - Developed and deployed a Python-based raw data validation tool, boosting data quality and reducing inconsistencies by 82%, leading to smoother downstream processing. - Created and optimized Python APIs that streamlined data transmission between the frontend and backend services, enhancing communication efficiency by 35%. - Integrated and refined API calls within the UI, and incorporated an AI chat agent module using React.js, improving user interaction speed by 20%. ### Application Developer Analyst - II @ UF Information Technology (UFIT) Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Gainesville, Florida, United States - Spearheaded 10+ change requests to enhance MDM-related REST APIs, resulting in a 15% increase in data processing efficiency and system stability using Java/J2EE and Spring/Spring Boot technologies. - Deployed robust RESTful APIs using Django REST Framework, facilitating seamless communication between front-end and back-end systems, leading to a 40% reduction in API response time. - Ensured high availability of applications by setting up Kubernetes pods with auto-scaling, resulting in a 25% improvement in system responsiveness during peak traffic. ### Software Development Engineer Intern @ Amazon Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | San Diego, California, United States - Automated the process of re-driving stuck regulatory reports from the SQS-DLQ saving 500+ hours of the on-call engineers. - Utilized AWS Lambda for orchestrating the calls between API Gateway and other AWS services. - Designed a full-CD pipeline for operational tools via CDK to provide the boilerplate for upcoming operational tools. - Developed REST API using AWS API Gateway to trigger the resuming of regulatory reports. - Designed a frontend UI in React utilizing the Redux pattern to trigger the resuming workflow and display the resumed reports on the dashboard. - Utilized dependency injection via Guice and Dagger to enhance extensibility and maintainability of the code. - Improvised the original design by adapting an asynchronous invocation pattern which increased the throughput by 81%. ### Application Developer Analyst Intern @ UF Information Technology (UFIT) Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Gainesville, Florida, United States - Formulated API testing suites in Postman ChaiBDD to maintain data hygiene in the database. - Ensured data integrity by meticulously querying MDM SQL tables, resulting in accurate test results. - Automated API testing suite using shell scripts and Postman, saving approximately 20 hours per week. ### Software Engineer @ Apisero Inc.
