Akash Tickoo

I’m an energetic, result-driven MuleSoft Certified Developer with 11+ years of enterprise integration experience, specializing in API-led connectivity, transformations, and scalable CloudHub deployments. I focus on Mule 4+ (Anypoint Studio, CloudHub, API Gateway) and DataWeave to build reliable, observable integration platforms.

In my recent role as Lead Software Engineer (Technology Lead), I led a team of 6–8 resources and mentored junior MuleSoft engineers on design patterns, DataWeave best practices, and code review standards. I architected and delivered an API-led connectivity platform for investment banking operations using System, Process, and Experience layers to integrate Salesforce, Apache Kafka, AWS Glue/Redshift/Redis, AllegroGraph, SFTP, and on-premise databases.

I’ve driven measurable outcomes by re-architecting DataWeave 2.0 transformations, introducing parallel batch processing, and refactoring Airflow DAGs—delivering an 85% API throughput improvement, 50% ETL latency reduction, and restoring 99.9% SLA compliance across a high-transaction platform. I also established reusable enterprise DataWeave module libraries published to Anypoint Exchange, reducing average integration build time from ~5 days to ~3 days (40% reduction).

I’m also hands-on with platform governance and modernization, including API architecture and DevOps/CI/CD automation using Jenkins, BitBucket, Ansible, Maven, Git, Docker, and RAFAY. I’ve orchestrated zero-downtime migrations from legacy MuleSoft APIs to Java Springboot REST APIs for 10,000+ users—while applying strong security practices (OAuth 2.0, JWT, mTLS, API policies, RBAC) to meet enterprise requirements across BFSI domains.
