Digvijay Makwana

Based out of New York City.

Currently: I'm a member of South Park Commons exploring different problem spaces and figuring out what I want to dedicate the next 10 years of my life to.

Past: I've spent time at Microsoft helping to build out Azure Cosmos DB. More recently, I completed a ~4.5 year stint at Airbnb where I was a Technical Lead (& Interim Engineering Manager) on the Messaging Platform team. I led a re-architecture of the core messaging systems; we made significant impact around performance, scalability, and reliability.

I grew up in Canada and attended the University of Waterloo where I studied Mechatronics Engineering.

Things that excite me:

  • Real world infrastructure
  • Distributed systems
  • LLMs / Generative AI
  • Automating away the mundane
  • Feel free to reach out if you want to connect; I'm reachable via DM on Twitter or LinkedIn.
