Akarsh Srivastava

Backend & AI Engineer · Gurugram, India

I'm a backend engineer at Salescode.ai, where I work on the distributed data infrastructure behind our reporting platform — Java and Quarkus services on EKS, configuration that stays in sync across pods, and pipelines that catch bad data before anyone reads a report off it. Before that I was the founding engineer at a MeitY-funded mobility startup, and for three years I built and ran the platforms behind my university's computing society: authentication, ticketing, payments and the infrastructure our festivals ran on.

Outside of work I spend my time on local, offline AI. The current one is a dubbing pipeline that separates the stems of a video, clones the speaker's voice and translates the text on screen — all on the machine it runs on, without sending anything to a server.
