About

Hello, I'm Akansha Singh, a Software Engineer currently working at Zepto, where I focus on optimizing inbound services, enhancing receiving and putaway flows, and reducing infrastructure costs through API optimizations. I have experience in Golang, Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, Kafka, and AWS, delivering high-performance, scalable backend solutions. 🎓 I graduated from NIT Agartala (2023) with a B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering, building a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and multiple programming languages. My active participation in coding competitions has further strengthened my problem-solving skills. 💻 Passionate about backend, I continuously seek opportunities to broaden my expertise and leverage emerging technologies to solve real-world challenges. 📧 Feel free to reach out to me at shivakansha112@gmail.com
