Akhilesh G. — Senior Software Engineer
I’m a Senior Backend Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance systems across SaaS, data platforms, and enterprise products. I specialize in Java, Scala, Node.js, Spring Boot, microservices, and distributed systems—along with growing experience in .NET, GraphQL, and modern frontend frameworks. Over the years, I’ve consistently focused on solving hard engineering problems, improving system reliability, and reducing operational costs: - At Gemini, I led improvements in CI/CD and solved long-standing user-duplication issues, eliminating 79% of duplicate records and streamlining key operational workflows. - At Kayrros, my work on AWS migrations contributed to a 24% reduction in cloud costs while modernizing critical services. - At Mindbody (Playlist), I delivered several high-impact performance and stability wins: - Reduced memory usage in Opportunity Services from 90% → under 10%, resolving recurring OOM issues. - Cut API response times by 45% through internal routing and query optimization. - Achieved 99.7–99.9% faster performance on Follow-Up Tasks APIs, improving Apdex from 0 to 1. - Improved key Postgres query latencies by up to 99.9% through targeted indexing and query restructuring. - Reduced noisy application logs by ~80%, lowering infra costs and improving signal-to-noise ratio for debugging. Beyond engineering impact, I enjoy mentoring teammates, collaborating across squads, and strengthening engineering culture through documentation, design reviews, and building reusable UI and backend components. I’ve also contributed to company-wide initiatives—from security improvements to interview panels—and was the **Asia winner of the Golden Phish 2025 cybersecurity awareness campaign**. I’m motivated by solving meaningful technical problems, improving developer experience, and building systems that scale reliably. Always happy to connect on architecture, performance tuning, or interesting engineering challenges.
