About me
Decent at Math and good at Physics, a right-brainer who loves being creative, and that ended-him-up choosing Programming as his day-job. He enjoys what he does!
Gopal S Akshintala is currently a Lead Software Engineer at Salesforce, working on Scaling Backend Systems for Revenue Cloud.
He is a passionate developer and loves being an Influencer & Mentor in the Dev community through his Blog-posts, International Tech-Talks, Social-media, and Open-Source.
In addition to his Software Engineering experience, Gopal gains more experiences-per-year through open-source collaborations & contributions. Gopal authored 3 Open-Source libraries:
- ReVoman 🦹🏻♀️, a Template-Driven API Automation tool for JVM.
- Vador 🦾, a Validation framework for JVM.

Gopal started as an Android Developer and switched to the server-side as a Full-Stack Developer (Backend — Kotlin, Java | Frontend — React Js). Wearing multiple hats has helped him perceive Patterns, Solutions, and Trade-offs. He is a practitioner of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Clean Architecture and a massive fan of Demo-Driven Planning and Test-Driven Development (TDD). He believes Expressive Code is fun and profitable, which enthused him towards Functional Programming (FP).
Gopal loves being on Stage, as a Singer (Youtube) and a Tech-Speaker and writes about Nature & Life.
