Backend Engineer

Amit Karnam

Backend engineer at Mercari, working on distributed services that power a large-scale consumer marketplace. I care about clean architecture, fault tolerance, and systems that stay boring under pressure. Outside work I explore computer vision, read foundational CS papers, and build side projects to learn by doing.
