Hi, I'm Akshath — a backend engineer focused on scalable systems and clean architecture.

• Enhanced onboarding for ultra-high-net-worth clients through backend development in Java Spring Boot for the Private Wealth Advisor and Client Portal, building and maintaining REST APIs, test automation, and CI/CD pipelines, and integrating with data lakes and Elasticsearch to enable scalable downstream access, observability, and compliance analytics.
• Architected an intelligent reconciliation system leveraging LLMs, RAG pipelines, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for autonomous data validation across diverse data sources, using RAG on reconciliation rule documentation and integrations with email and GitLab MCP connectors, improving reconciliation accuracy and reducing manual review effort by 50%.
• Leading a team of four to develop and maintain the microservices-based backend for Goldman Sachs’ KYC and AML systems, leveraging Apache Spark and Kafka for large-scale data handling, and overseeing integrations with Fidelity, Mercer, and Ayco client platforms in a Dockerized Kubernetes environment.

Contributed to the “One FedEx” initiative by implementing backend solutions using Java Spring Boot to optimize route processes across FedEx Express & Ground, directly enhancing operational efficiency with a savings impact of $3 billion.

Led the end-to-end redesign of the Automated Dispatch Sectorization system — from initial analysis and Balsamiq prototyping to full-stack development using React and Java Spring Boot, integrating with external systems, conducting rigorous testing, and delivering the first production-ready MVP.

• Led a 4-member team to build REST-GPT, integrating ChatGPT APIs with a RAG pipeline and microservice fuzzing to enable fully automated, zero-touch API test generation, execution, and evaluation.
• Delivered 10% higher prime path coverage across 20 benchmarks compared to Microsoft RESTler and Evomaster.

• Developed scalable solutions for Cloud Powered Checkouts across Walmart & Sam’s Club using Azure, Kubernetes, and Docker, enabling high-throughput processing and seamless handling of large-scale transactional data.
• Architected a global, JSON-based configuration management platform enabling dynamic feature toggling and policy control across stores and regions, built on Vert.x Java’s asynchronous, event-driven model with ReactJS, Redis, and Kafka.
• Proposed a novel approach to merging JSON arrays of objects, streamlining hierarchical configuration overrides.
• Received the Walmart Bravo Award (Mar 2022) and Associate of the Month (Feb 2022) for delivering business-critical features.

• Served as a Technical Consultant for Treasury Tech, developing a real-time dashboard for rapid report generation and leading the DB2 OLTP migration from v9.5 to v11.2 with zero downtime.
• Owned backend development for the Structured Notes and Vanilla Loans systems, designing an annotation-based asynchronous Java library to streamline parallel processing and enhance scalability across services.
• Implemented one-click and blue-green deployments, streamlining release cycles and reducing production rollout time.

Redesigned the email module in FedEx’s “Random Drug Tests” system using Spring Boot to handle delivery failures.
