# Ishan Shah
Software engineer at PayPal building reliable event-driven systems and AI agents.

## About

Ishan Shah builds large-scale distributed systems and real-time data platforms at PayPal. He focuses on designing event-driven architectures that handle failure safely, drawing from a decade of engineering across retail and security.

Recently, his work has expanded into AI operations. He explores how to build reliable AI-assisted workflows, manage context in long-running agents, and apply site reliability principles to autonomous development.

He frequently speaks on the realities of production environments, breaking down how to build replay-safe architectures that recover data without corrupting downstream systems.
