I'm a software developer specializing in building (and occasionally designing) exceptional digital experiences. Currently, I’m focused on building secure, scalable backend systems and user-centered products.

01. About Me

Hello! I'm Akshay, a passionate developer from Pune, India. My journey into technology began with a deep curiosity for how things work, which quickly evolved into a passion for creating software that solves real-world problems.

I thrive in environments where I can collaborate, learn, and push the boundaries of what's possible. From architecting robust APIs to crafting pixel-perfect UIs, my goal is always to build products that are not only functional and efficient but also a delight to use.

When I'm not at my computer, I enjoy exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, and mentoring fellow developers at GDSC.
