About

I’m Akash Kumar, an IIT Kharagpur graduate in Industrial and Systems Engineering, currently working as a Software Developer at Reo.dev. I work across a complex microservices architecture and have hands-on experience with Apache Kafka, Docker, Spring Boot, Go development, and PostgreSQL. During my work, I helped build and improve our RB2B matching algorithm, increasing the mapping accuracy from around 2.6% to nearly 55–60%. I’ve also delivered several end-to-end features, including Discord integrations and Developer Audience modules, handling millions of Discord messages in production. These projects helped improve product quality, performance, and reliability. I enjoy solving problems, building systems at scale, and learning new technologies as I grow in my software engineering journey.
