Hello, I'm Akshay Pendyala

I'm a software engineer passionate about building scalable and resilient architectures. My journey in tech started with curiosity about how complex systems handle massive scale. When I'm not architecting systems, you'll find me exploring new technologies, reading about space exploration, or planning my next adventure.
