Hey, I am Akhileshwar

Engineer, Learner, and Tinkerer

I'm a 22 year old software engineer with a passion for scalable backend systems, distributed datastores, infrastructure design, and the exciting world of GenAI.

My Journey So Far

My experience spans a diverse range of technologies and projects:

• Architecting robust REST APIs and implementing efficient gRPC and WebSocket solutions
• Developing cutting-edge GenAI features
• Implementing state-of-the-art RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) algorithms
• Creating AI-powered automations by integrating services like Shopify, Notion, and Firebase
• Implementing robust CI/CD pipelines with Pulumi for AWS and Cloud Build for GCP triggered by GitHub actions
• Dabbling in frontend development with React and HTMX

Currently, I'm expanding my horizons by diving deeper into:

• Advanced concurrency programming paradigms
• Systems engineering
• Live video streaming
• Core machine learning and deep learning concepts

I'm also an active contributor to open-source project DiceDB, a drop-in replacement for Redis that offers SQL-based real-time reactivity. My major contributions to DiceDB include implementing JSON as a datatype and adding support for JSONPath operations, similar to Redis. These enhancements significantly expand DiceDB's capabilities in handling complex data structures.
I'm always on the lookout for intriguing projects where I can make meaningful contributions.
