About Akash Madishetti

I’m a software engineer with experience building backend services, microservices, and full-stack applications using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, and AWS. I enjoy solving real engineering problems, whether it’s improving API performance, optimizing databases, or designing systems that scale.I’ve worked on projects involving fraud detection, inventory systems, real-time dashboards, and modernizing legacy applications. Along the way, I’ve focused on writing clean, maintainable code, improving reliability through testing, and using tools like Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, and Docker/Kubernetes to build faster and more resilient systems.I like working in environments where I can contribute to meaningful products, learn from strong teams, and continue growing as an engineer. Currently based in the U.S. and open to opportunities in backend, distributed systems, or full-stack development.
