About Akshay
I can quickly prototype any idea for you, or build out a full-fledged web application.
I've previously founded a YC-backed AI/data infra startup, Scaled enterprise AI deployments and been recognized in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list, in Enterprise Software
Over the last 12 years, I've donned many hats - Engineering, PM, ML, Design, Sales, Marketing etc. That’s what’s unique about me - I’m not just a product manager, or an engineer - I’ve worked in the intersection. And that has given me great insight into how to build what the user wants, but build it properly, and ship it fast.
