6+ years building production software — SaaS platforms, APIs, microservices, cloud infra. I lead teams and ship systems that work in production.
akshay.tulajannavar@gmail.comAbout Me
I build systems
that last.
I'm a Technical Team Lead and Backend-focused Full-Stack Engineer with 6+ years of professional experience building production software across multiple domains and platforms. I design and deliver scalable systems, clean APIs, and production-grade backends that teams can own and extend.
My core stack is Java, Python, and JavaScript, with deep hands-on experience using Spring Boot and Django for microservices-based backend systems. On the frontend, I work confidently with React and Angular.
I've shipped across domains — financial platforms, automation SaaS, marketing tools, fleet systems, health apps, and more. The stack changes. The discipline doesn't: UI → API → database → deployment, done properly.
“I thrive in roles that combine technical depth, ownership, and leadership — any domain, any platform, as long as the system is built to last.”
Fintech & Complex Domains
Apache Fineract, Mifos, ETRM/CTRM — financial platforms, loan workflows, trading systems. One of many domains delivered end-to-end.
Backend Engineering
Java / Spring Boot, Python / Django, Node.js — microservices-based systems with clean API design, schema optimization, and reliable data migrations.
Frontend Development
React and Angular — secure, performant, and maintainable UIs that integrate cleanly with complex APIs and backend systems.
Engineering Leadership
Lead teams, review architecture, mentor engineers, and collaborate with product and business stakeholders — from sprint planning to production delivery.
DevOps & Deployments
CI/CD pipelines, cloud deployments, environment management, and automation — ensuring reliable and scalable releases across production environments.
Automation
N8N and Zapier for workflow automation, reducing manual operational overhead and connecting systems at scale.

Tools & Technologies
Selected Work
Systems built,
shipped, and running.
A full Apache Fineract / Mifos-based lending platform built as a multi-service system. Covers the complete lending lifecycle — loan origination, repayment schedules, BNPL flows, contract management, and async payment processing via a dedicated queue service.
Key Points
- —Microservice split: middleware, contract service, queue service — each independently deployable
- —Mifos UI customised for client-specific loan products and repayment schedules
- —BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) demo flow with installment engine
- —Queue-driven payment reconciliation and event processing
A full-stack automation platform with a browser extension, backend API, UI dashboard, and dedicated queue + browser-service microservices. Users define automation workflows that run in headless browser sessions managed by the platform.
Key Points
- —Chrome extension as the user-facing automation trigger and recorder
- —Decoupled browser-service runs headless sessions — offloaded from the main API
- —Queue service handles job scheduling, retries, and result delivery
- —Playwright-based test suite for full E2E coverage
An AI-integrated drip campaign and marketing funnel system. The AI backend handles LLM-driven content generation and funnel logic, while separate API and frontend layers serve the product.
Key Points
- —AI backend handles LLM integration for content and sequence generation
- —Separate core API and AI API — independently deployable
- —Two frontend builds: core product UI and AI-specific interface
- —Drip sequence engine with triggers, delays, and audience segmentation

Before the Code
Surviving Bangalore. No job. No backup plan.
Between finishing training at Geekskool and landing a tech role, I rode for Zomato, Dunzo, and Rapido. Early mornings, long shifts, city traffic — learning to code every spare moment. That chapter built the discipline and the hunger that still drives every system I build today.
Zomato
Delivery Partner
Sep 2019 – May 2020
Delivered food across Bengaluru — rain or traffic, every order counted. Every free hour went to learning to code.
Dunzo
Delivery Captain
Sep 2019 – May 2020
Ran deliveries across the city to keep bills paid while the real goal was always: learn to build software.
Rapido
Bike Taxi Captain
Sep 2019 – May 2020
Rode passengers across Bengaluru. No tech job, no safety net — just the city, a bike, and the determination to code my way out.
“Riding through Bangalore traffic with no tech job taught me more about resilience than any classroom. I wasn't waiting for an opportunity — I was creating the conditions to earn one.”
