# Akash Reddy Bommireddy > Full Stack Java Engineer | Kafka · Spring Boot · AWS · Kubernetes | Real-Time Payments & Banking Systems | ISO 20022 · 100K+ TPS Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/akashreddybommireddy At City Bank, I architect event-driven microservices in Java 17 + Spring Boot that transform raw network signals into real-time Angular dashboards — reducing P99 API latency by 30% and cutting deployment failures by 30% through disciplined Kafka pipeline architecture and Kubernetes-native CI/CD on AWS. Before that, at CognitiveBotics, I modernized a legacy monolithic bank payment system into ISO 20022-compliant cloud-native microservices handling 100K+ daily transactions — increasing throughput by 35% and reducing environment provisioning time by 60% through CloudFormation automation. What I'm especially good at: • Designing Kafka-based event-driven systems that scale under production load without sacrificing observability • Full stack delivery — from Spring Boot microservices to React / Angular 14 dashboards that ops teams actually want to use • CI/CD architecture: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD pipelines with automated regression gates that ship faster and fail less • Translating business requirements into clean, testable code — JUnit 5, Mockito, Testcontainers, contract testing Outside work, I build systems that simulate real production constraints: an Intelligent Order Routing System with SLA enforcement and failover, and a full-stack e-commerce platform with observability pipelines. If you want to understand distributed systems, break them yourself first.
