I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 16+ years of experience building high-performance, production-grade software across Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS) — and more recently, scalable Java-based backend microservices on AWS. My career has been defined by working on products that reach millions of users. At Amazon, I spent 6+ years architecting core modules for the Prime Video Player SDK — from resource fetching and authentication to HEVC download support, low-latency playback using AVFoundation, and automated testing infrastructure for tvOS. I also engineered the Alexa Voice SDK for iOS, building the full voice interaction pipeline from audio capture to rendering the Alexa responses on the interactive iPhone UI. More recently, I led a team of 7 engineers at Amazon building distributed backend systems — automated invoice correction pipelines, migration testing tools, and CI/CD-driven workflows that improved both reliability and developer velocity. Before Amazon, I contributed to enterprise iOS apps at Aruba Networks (HPE), built productivity tools at MangoSpring Technologies, and delivered cross-platform C++ solutions at Persistent Systems for global education clients including SMART Technologies. I hold an M.S. in Software Engineering from BITS Pilani, a B.E. in Computer Science, and a granted US Patent in streaming technology. What I bring to the table: Deep SDK architecture expertise across Apple platforms End-to-end ownership — from low-level C++ to Swift to Java microservices A builder's mindset: scalable systems, clean abstractions, measurable impact Hands-on leadership without losing the engineering edge Currently open to Senior / Staff Engineer roles in iOS platform engineering, SDK development, or full-stack product engineering. 📩 ypgokhale@gmail.com | 🔗 linkedin.com/in/ypgokhale | 📄 Patent: US10893310B1
