About Abhay Kumar

Built an AI-powered incident response agent at Target that cut escalation noise by ~30% and a logistics automation system that saves $2M+ annually. That\'s the kind of work I do. 4+ years building distributed backend systems in Java and Spring Boot, across logistics, platform engineering, and production operations. I own things end-to-end from system design through production cutover and partner closely with product and operations to ship work that actually moves the needle. Currently deepening focus on agentic workflows and AI-integrated backend tooling — building systems where AI doesn\'t just assist engineers, it acts for them. Stack: Java · Kotlin · Spring Boot · Kafka · PostgreSQL · AWS · Docker · Elasticsearch · OpenTelemetry · Grafana
