Hi there, I am Akshay 👋

I'm a full-stack engineer and hands-on architect who enjoys turning complex requirements into reliable, cost-efficient systems.

Over the past 5 years I've worked across InsureTech and HRMS/Payroll, owning architecture, delivery, and technical mentoring.

I care about clarity in design docs, thoughtful APIs, and solving the right problems in a sustainable way.

🎯 Fun facts

  • System design — maintainable, scalable solutions with the right trade-offs.
  • Cloud-native development on AWS — secure, observable, cost-aware.
  • Developer efficiency — reusable libraries and tools that make teams faster.
  • Full ownership — research, design, code, reviews, deploys, support.
