Akshay Mittal — CEO

As a Platform Engineer at FARFETCH, I build, support, and improve data infrastructure solutions that enable the company to deliver innovative and personalized fashion experiences to millions of customers worldwide. I work with cutting-edge technologies such as Azure Databricks, Apache Airflow, Azure Data Lake, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) to ensure the scalability, reliability, and performance of the data platform. Before joining FARFETCH, I was a Software Development Engineer at Amazon, where I contributed to the design and implementation of the next-generation Distribution Center Warehouse Management System (DC WMS), a microservices-based solution that manages the bulk storage and distribution logistics for multiple tenants. I developed APIs, authorization mechanisms, load testing infrastructure, micro-frontends, and backend-for-frontend services, using languages and frameworks such as React, single-spa, C, C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript. I also ensured a smooth product launch by taking full ownership of prod-readiness tasks and bug fixes. I graduated from BITS Pilani in 2022. During my studies, I acquired a strong foundation in data structures and algorithms, and obtained a certification from Udemy on the same topic. I also developed a keen interest in cloud computing, distributed systems, and data engineering, which motivated me to pursue a career in this field. My core competencies include deploying scalable end-to-end services, writing and testing backend business logic, leveraging cloud providers and container orchestrators, and using a diverse technology stack. I am passionate about learning new skills and technologies, and solving complex and challenging problems. I am also a collaborative and supportive team player, who values feedback and continuous improvement.
