Based in London, United Kingdom
I'm Raghav — a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon, based in London, United Kingdom, with four years of experience building mobile products end-to-end, from Android client architecture down to the distributed services and AWS infrastructure that power them. I care about systems that stay correct and fast as they scale, and about the design decisions that get them there.
What I work on
- Android app architecture — offline-first sync, resilient API contracts, and testable UI.
- Backend services — Spring Boot microservices, REST APIs, caching, and containerized deploys.
- Cloud & delivery — AWS (ECS/EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront), CI/CD, and observability.

Why I write
Every post follows a STAR + Architecture format: the situation, the constraints, the design I landed on, and why — with diagrams. It's the technical reasoning I'd want a teammate (or a hiring manager) to see, not just the finished answer.
