Hi, I’m Shivam 👋
📍 Seattle | 💼 SDE @ Amazon | 🧰 Apache Airflow Contributor
Engineer. Airflow contributor. Perpetual learner. I write here so I remember the hard-won stuff.
I contribute to Apache Airflow (10 merged PRs and counting) and build small tools that scratch my own itches. Outside of tech, I read a lot and take book notes — you’ll find those under Life and Book Notes.
