Open for Collaboration

Hi, I'm Akash Kaintura

I convert coffee into clean code, legacy monoliths into sleek microservices, and slow SQL queries into speedruns.

Engineering robust enterprise backends, decomposing monolithic legacy services into scalable event-driven microservices, and optimizing SQL query patterns to drastically reduce server overhead.
