Serving Notice Period | Backend Engineer @ Accenture | Java • Spring Boot • Microservices | Distributed Systems & Scalable APIs | Curious about Applied AI

About

Backend Engineer who ships. 3 years at Accenture building and optimizing Java/Spring Boot microservices — cutting response times by 35%, migrating legacy systems, and maintaining 99% on-time delivery. I care about how systems work under the hood — not just making things function, but making them fast, maintainable, and ready to scale. That thinking shows up in my work: cleaner APIs, better-structured services, and code that the next engineer won't curse. Outside of Accenture, I'm actively building: → Threadly — building a full-stack shopping platform with a focus on scalable backend systems and clean API design. → Engineering Labs — a personal project series exploring system design, distributed systems & backend patterns. → Applied AI experiments to understand how intelligence fits into modern backend systems. Currently exploring: Backend Engineering • System Design • Distributed Systems • Cloud & DevOps • Applied AI Open to backend, full-stack, and SWE roles where I can build things that matter. 📬 kalash.strt@gmail.com | kalashsharma.com

Work experience

Software Engineer at Accenture in India, Jun 2025 - Present · 1 yr 4 mos, - Built and owned an Excel-based bulk import pipeline across 30+ dashboards — files uploaded to Azure Blob Storage, processed asynchronously via Azure Service Bus, with conditional ADD/UPDATE/DELETE operations at the API layer, eliminating manual data entry entirely. - Integrated AI tooling (Claude Code) into team engineering workflows for automated code reviews, JUnit test generation, and Sonar improvements — adopted across the team. - Led peer and junior code reviews enforcing clean code standards across microservices. 🏆 ACE Award — Project-level award celebrated Accenture-wide, recognizing exceptional technical contribution on the ENI platform. 🏆 Bright Beginners Award — Quarterly award for exceptional delivery; recognized for 17+ on-time client change requests while improving system performance by 30%.

Associate Software Engineer at Accenture in India, Oct 2023 - May 2025 · 1 yr 8 mos, - Core contributor to a greenfield dashboard platform built from scratch for ENI (Fortune Global 500, ~32K employees) — worked across Spring Boot microservices, SQL optimization, and JavaScript/React frontend over 2+ years. - Solely owned end-to-end migration of a Python-based internal application to a Java backend — delivered 17+ client change requests on-time, maintained 99% SLA for a 3,000+ user production system. - Pioneered adoption of a custom hierarchical grid component — first to implement in production, designed extensibility plan enabling reuse across 5+ dashboards, cutting integration time by 25%. - Refactored SQL queries and microservice interactions, reducing DB response latency by 35% and improving throughput under load. - Made platform-level changes to the internal Rapid framework in JavaScript, directly resolving feasibility blockers rather than working around them.

Contributor at Hacktoberfest, Oct 2022 - Nov 2022 · 2 mos, Remote, - Successfully contributed to Hacktoberfest 2022, merging 4 pull requests across multiple open-source projects, enhancing code quality, resolving issues, and adding new features. - Collaborated with global developers to follow best practices in version control, code reviews, and documentation, ensuring smooth integration and project consistency. - Promoted sustainability and environmental awareness by planting a tree through Tree Nation as part of the Hacktoberfest initiative.
