Akash Kadakia

Backend-focused Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience architecting real-time, data-intensive systems in the connected vehicle space. My work sits at the intersection of mobility, IoT, and large-scale distributed systems—designing scalable Go microservices and data platforms that power telemetry, OTA updates, and high-throughput analytics across global vehicle fleets. I’ve led key efforts in: Building performant APIs on top of ClickHouse for real-time and historical vehicle data. Designing event-driven systems and dashboards that turn live vehicle signals into actionable insights. Optimizing infrastructure by migrating services from serverless to Apache Beam, improving performance and reducing costs. My expertise spans Kafka, Beam, Dataflow, MQTT, and real-time messaging protocols used in mobility and automotive systems. I'm a fast, self-taught learner who thrives on picking up new technologies quickly and applying them to solve complex problems at scale. I’m especially passionate about creating resilient, low-latency pipelines that support intelligent decision-making. Whether enabling smarter fleet operations, accelerating data access, or improving backend efficiency—I bring a systems thinker’s mindset and mobility-first engineering experience to every problem I solve. I thrive in collaborative, cross-functional teams, and enjoy translating complex technical challenges into impactful solutions for both internal stakeholders and customer-facing use cases.
