About Akshat Goyal
I am a Backend Software Engineer (SDE-2) with 3+ years of experience building scalable, high-reliability systems in the fintech and payments domain. Currently, I work at Nium, where I design and develop backend services that power complex payment workflows, reconciliation systems, and mission-critical financial operations.My core expertise lies in Java-based backend development, with strong hands-on experience in PostgreSQL, distributed system design, and cloud-native architectures on Amazon Web Services. I focus on building systems that are not only performant and scalable, but also resilient, auditable, and compliant—key requirements in the payments ecosystem.Beyond core backend engineering, I play a pivotal role as an AI Pioneer within my organization, where I spearhead and drive multiple AI initiatives end-to-end. This includes identifying high-impact use cases, architecting intelligent solutions, and integrating AI into production systems to improve efficiency, automation, and decision-making across teams. I enjoy working at the intersection of engineering, data, and AI, translating ideas into tangible business value.I also bring prior experience with React, enabling me to collaborate effectively across the stack and work closely with frontend and product teams. I’m known for taking ownership of complex problem statements, mentoring peers, and consistently delivering solutions in high-stakes, fast-paced environments.What drives me: solving hard problems, building systems that scale globally, and pushing the boundaries of how AI can enhance real-world financial platforms.I’m always excited to connect with engineers, product leaders, and innovators who are passionate about backend engineering, fintech, and applied AI.
