About
Hi, I'm Akshay.
I've spent more than fourteen years building software for finance: mortgage platforms at Accenture, a flagship money-transfer product at Fiserv where I was tech lead, and today .NET and Blazor WebAssembly applications at Deutsche Bank with an AI-first workflow.
Outside work I build whatever I can't stop thinking about: an interactive 3D teardown of a 2026 F1 car, lessons on how cars work, a native macOS disk analyzer, and a pipeline that checks whether the day you start a SIP actually matters. This site collects them.
