Hi, I’m Avi Cohen—a senior software engineer with 10+ years designing scalable backend systems, data infrastructure, and cloud-native solutions for global tech environments. I specialize in AWS architecture, cost-efficient Data Lakes, ETL pipelines, and real-time processing systems, delivering robust microservices and serverless applications using NestJS, Lambda, and Docker. I’m hands-on with Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and Java, and I’ve led modernization efforts, cloud security initiatives, and DevOps practices (CI/CD, Kubernetes, Airflow). I enjoy collaborating with product teams and executives to align engineering work with business goals, and I’m focused on optimizing performance while reducing infrastructure costs.
