About

I’m Akshat, a Full-Stack Engineer with a strong foundation in cloud and Generative AI technologies, and passionate about architecting and delivering scalable software and AI-driven solutions that solve real business and client problems. I bring a rich blend of skills across communication & tech. I thrive in environments where I can work closely with clients and teams to understand their challenges, design effective architectures, and ship solutions that drive tangible impact. My previous experience includes developing advanced web platforms and AI-integrated software solutions for diverse stakeholders, from enterprise workflows to community tools, always focused on aligning technology with practical business needs. Outside of tech, I have a passion for entrepreneurship. I served as secretary of my college's Entrepreneurship Cell and co-chaired our Annual Entrepreneurial Summit. I graduate in Spring '26 with a Master's in Information Sciences @ Pitt, and I'm actively seeking Forward-Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, and Gen AI SWE roles
