Distributed Software Engineer

Akashdeep Singh Jassal

Systems across nodes. Outcomes that stay coherent.

Distributed software engineer and Master’s student at TU Dresden. I design microservices, event-driven pipelines, and real-time backends that stay reliable under load.

About

Engineer for systems that span machines

I build backend systems where services, queues, and data stores have to agree under pressure. My work spans REST and reactive APIs, DBMS, CDC, ETL pipelines, search and indexes, containers and CI/CD

Lately I’ve been exploring how intelligent systems can take on multi-step work: planning tasks, calling the right tools, and stitching results together so people get a clear outcome instead of a pile of half-finished steps.

I’m currently deepening that craft through a Master’s in Distributed Systems Engineering at Technische Universität Dresden.

Experience

Where I've shipped

From traffic AI microservices to factory workflow tooling—backends that move data, react in real time, and deploy cleanly.

Mar 2025 — Present
Dresden, DE
Werkstudent Software Engineer @ Tekscend Photomask
- Developed a rule-driven validation service connecting the ActiveMQ broker to resolve and report litho format errors preemptively before heavy planning and fracturing workloads run.
- Conducted performance research to optimize Oracle DBMS queries using Oracle AWR profiling, refining indexes and queries and reporting 15-80% latency reduction.
- Automated secure application delivery via GitLab CI/CD, ensuring stability across environments.
Jul 2022 — May 2024
Bengaluru, IN
Software Development Engineer @ Beltech AI
- Designed the REST microservices architecture and API suite for Challan AI with Spring Boot—violation generation, junction monitoring, WebSocket signal control, and real-time notifications via Spring AMQP.
- Cut processing time by 10× with Reactive Spring WebFlux, handling jobs efficiently with fewer consumers.
- Synced data to Elasticsearch and OLAP stores with Debezium CDC and Celery/RabbitMQ consumers for balanced load and real-time operations.
- Used Elasticsearch for geo-spatial and multi-filter queries, reducing response times from 2s to 0.02s.
- Cut incident resolution time by 30% with centralized logging and monitoring via the ELK stack.
- Increased deployment frequency by 50% by designing and automating CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Docker.
Mar 2021 — Jun 2022
Bengaluru, IN
Software Developer Engineer Intern @ Quikr
- Deployed Quikr Jobs on the Play Store (1M+ downloads)—app signing keys, backend signature registration, authentication, and analytics.
- Integrated Quikr Jobs with the National Career Service (NCS) portal for real-time migration and sync of job status and applications.
