01·About Me
THE STORY

Building the bridge between

ideas and experiences.

I'm Akshat, a B.Tech student and developer who enjoys building systems, breaking them, and figuring out how to make them better. I'm particularly interested in backend development and embedded systems, with a focus on building software that's reliable, scalable, and actually useful.

Most of my time goes into working with JavaScript, Node.js, APIs, databases, and the infrastructure that keeps applications running. I enjoy understanding how things work under the hood—from designing clean backend architectures to debugging the one stupid issue that somehow took three hours to find.

I'm also interested in open source and building projects of my own. I like taking an idea from “this would be cool” to something that actually runs in production, and I care a lot about writing code that's clean, maintainable, and easy to build on.

I'm still early in my journey, but I'm constantly learning, experimenting, and trying to build things that are a little more ambitious than what I could build yesterday. My long-term goal is simple: become the kind of engineer who can take complex problems, understand them from the ground up, and build elegant solutions that scale.

The Beginning

Pandemic downtime sparked my curiosity about how everyday software worked. Without knowing what a backend or API was, I started experimenting by building Discord bots, breaking code, and figuring out why things worked.
