Hi, I’m Akshat. I’m the kind of person who goes down rabbit holes. One day reading about AI agents, another day researching on energy systems, and somehow ending up building random things at 2am. Scroll to see projects, research notes and how we can collaborate together.
Who I am
I'm Akshat — an engineering student who's more interested in what you do with knowledge than in having it. Everything I am working on is a learning curve, and that's exactly how I like it.
My sweet spot is the intersection of AI, data, and the mundane everyday — the kind of problems people deal with but never think to solve with technology. If a system can think smarter so a person doesn't have to, I want to build it. With just this in mind, I've been tinkering around my father's textile manufacturing systems since years now! 🙃
Beyond the technical, I'm genuinely fascinated by how ideas become companies. I follow the VC and startup ecosystem closely — what accelerators are betting on, which early-stage theses are playing out. I think a lot about what it takes to go from a working prototype to something people actually care about. Lately, I’ve been also fascinated by the stock market — not just the numbers, but the ideas, businesses, and decisions behind them :)
Outside screens: I play squash, get lost in music, and travel whenever I can — usually to somewhere I've never been. I’m also always up for good coffee and have a soft spot for exploring new tech products and gadgets.
I work best in teams. I think out loud, ask questions that go sideways in useful directions, and genuinely believe the best ideas come from people who are different from you.
A living notebook
What I’m building, learning and figuring out. Pick a page; there’s a person behind every project.
On the shelf holds paused and closed chapters. Finished work stays in Shipped.
Where I've been
Thinking out loud
A mix of tech learnings, project updates, startup observations, and daily life. Unpolished. Honest. Written for myself first.
Get in touch
If you're building something at the intersection of tech and traditional industry — or you think there's a conversation worth having — I'm genuinely open to it. I'm early in my journey and I know it. But I show up, I think, and I follow through.
