Hello! I am Murali, living in Seattle, WA - I currently work as Software Engineer in AWS CloudWatch organization and specialize in building large scale, fault tolerant distributed systems handling millions of TPS with low latency. I am passionate about building software and take great interest in everything related to it. My current most reseaarched topics are building applications implementing networking protocols, maintaining and operating large services, building and benchmarking applications built using LLMs.

I am from Hyderabad, India and have done my bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University - Hyderabad. After graduation, I worked in NCR Corporation for 2 years building Advanced Marketing Solution (AMS) product. I've then moved to the US and did my masters majoring in Computer Science from University of Illinois, Chicago. After completing my masters, I've joined NCR Corporation working in the same team that I was in India and then a year later, I've moved to Seattle, WA and joined AWS. Over the period of past 7 years, I've built and shipped features for AWS EBS, CloduFormation and CloudWatch Logs

Apart from work, I love photography and currently have Fuji X-T20 and X-T3 with range of portrait and red-badge lenses. I am more of a landscape phographer and love going to national and state parks (one of the reasons for me to move to pacific northwest), but I recently found an interest in taking portrait photos (especially of my wife). During weekends, I like cooking Indian food and my long term goal is to document all the recipes that my family cooks (especially my mom) and streamline the process that helps future generations.
