OriginThe Origin Story

Darshan Konnur, smiling, in a checked blazerDarshan Konnur, smiling, in a checked blazer
I’m a software engineer in Boston, finishing my MS in Computer Science at Northeastern and joining Amazon Web Services as a Software Development Engineer in January 2027.

I’m a software engineer in Boston, finishing my MS in Computer Science at Northeastern and joining Amazon Web Services as a Software Development Engineer.

Last summer at AWS I built a serverless system that captures visual evidence for cloud-security workflows. Before grad school I spent three years at Schneider Electric building enterprise workflow applications, and earned the SURGE Award.

Ticket-Forge, my ticket-assignment system, took 3rd place at the Google MLOps Project Expo, and my research on medical-sample allocation is published with IEEE. I like taking systems from prototype to production — and proving they work.

Last summer at AWS I built a serverless system that captures visual evidence for cloud-security workflows — Java, Python, Lambda, and infrastructure as code, tested to 100% coverage against a live AWS environment.

As a teaching assistant I mentored 300+ graduate students in software design. I like taking systems from prototype to production — and proving they work.

Returned witha full-time SDE offer.

I build software the way good code reads: clear, intentional, and built to last.

    • Designed and built a serverless prototype that automatically captures visual evidence for cloud security workflows using Java, Python, AWS Lambda, S3 and browser automation.
    • Defined infrastructure as code with AWS CDK, IAM and Docker; hardened the service with input validation, timeout handling, fault-tolerant execution and observability.
    • Built comprehensive automated validation spanning a Java evidence collector with 100% test coverage, Python Lambda unit tests and an end-to-end integration suite validating success and failure paths against a live AWS environment.
