Aakash Yatish
Feature Lead at Bank of America Merrill Lynch
Sr. Software Engineer/Feature Lead, Bank of America Merrill Lynch
I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience in both leadership and individual contributor roles, with deep hands-on expertise in C#, Angular, and Web API. Since 2013 I have been with Bank of America Merrill Lynch where I’m currently a VP and Feature Lead running a 10-member team in web application development and modernization efforts. Previously I spent four years with a startup where my focus was on ERP products, e-commerce, and mobile apps. 

My strengths are building high performing teams and leading them through the full SDLC using Agile methods, with the ability to roll up my sleeves and contribute to projects as well. I’m a quick study and keep an open mind to new approaches, and I enjoy learning and adopting new technologies and tools. 

In addition to my experience, I earned a MS in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology and completed my undergraduate degree at Bangalore University in India.

In 2020 I was promoted to Feature Lead (and from AVP to VP) to manage development and delivery of new features and drive technical vision, leading a 10-member team in development of web apps using Angular 8, Web API, and SQL Server. My projects have included leading modernization of our financial advisor apps (.NET Web Forms, WCF, SQL Server), a rates management system for loan products (Angular, Web API, SQL Server), and enhancement of a pricing portal (Angular 8, Web API). 

I also facilitate team code reviews and serve as an internal SME on migrations from Web Forms and WCF to Web API.

After my internship in Summer 2013 I took a return offer and held responsibility for development of a deposit processing system suite of on-premise vendor apps, console apps, and WCF web services. The system processed ~$300M in checks daily from branch locations, mobile applications, and remote deposit. 

My day-to-day work included redesign of legacy pages (ASP/.NET Web Forms to MVC, jQuery, Ajax), build of a custom monitoring solution in .NET MVC, and contributing to adoption of more modern practices and concepts like TDD, Dependency Injection, and unit and integration testing.

        Aakash has been one of the versatile member at GreeneStep. He can manage anything that has been assigned to him. What struck me was his ability to do lateral thinking which is quite unique especially at the beginning of his career. 

Initially, we both worked in Sales Department where I had the utmost learning from him. The feedback that I was receiving from him made me today what I am. 

He is passionate about his life and enjoys to the max. He is a winner by his own parameter. He enjoys being with his family, career, sports, adventure which is a sign of social economic level of success. 

He is hungry for learning. I firmly believe that he is going be a prominent personality in the technology world in the coming days.
