Aakash Porwal — Software Engineer
I'm a backend-focused engineer with 3.5+ years of experience building scalable, event-driven systems and optimizing real-time data pipelines. I’ve worked across the stack—from architecting high-throughput analytics engines in Node.js + TypeScript, to optimizing big data workflows with Kafka, BigQuery, and PySpark. At Tata Digital, I built JARVIS, a real-time platform processing 300M+ daily events, led a migration from EventHub to Kafka (cutting infra costs 7x), and drove a 70% BigQuery cost reduction through architectural tuning. My work directly powers BI dashboards, customer journey insights, and business-critical decisions. I enjoy solving complex problems, designing high-level architectures (HLD), and delivering systems that balance performance, reliability, and cost. Tech I'm strong at: Node.js, Kafka, TypeScript, BigQuery, PySpark, Microservices, GCP What I value: Ownership, engineering impact, and clean architecture
