Akash Mondal is a backend-focused software engineer with five years of experience building high-availability cloud infrastructure and production services from Pune, India. At Huddle01 he architected OpenStack-based infrastructure, zero-downtime AWS deployment pipelines, and event-driven systems using Kafka, while also shipping the company’s first SaaS dashboard and a mediasoup Unity client for real-time AV. He pairs backend development (PostgreSQL, serverless workers, FFmpeg streaming) with hands-on DevOps—Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Coolify—and pragmatic performance engineering using Cloudflare Workers and KV caching. An active open-source contributor, he improved code quality for the widely used Checkstyle project and automated release workflows for cytoscape.js, showing attention to both code hygiene and CI/CD reliability. Described on GitHub as a “Breaker, Learner, Builder,” Akash brings a curiosity-driven approach to solving complex infrastructure and release challenges.
Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. By default it supports the Google Java Style Guide and Sun Code Conventions, but is highly configurable. It can be invoked with an ANT task and a command line program.
