I am a creative problem-solver, sneakerhead, and coffee enthusiast.
Hey, I'm Akshay! 👋
Product designer and design engineer based in SF. I design and build 0 -> 1 AI products, agentic workflows, and data-heavy experiences built around scale and reliability.
At Amplitude I shipped AI agent experiences that cut user support tickets and drove adoption for a net-new product on a platform handling trillions of user events for the Fortune 500. Before that I designed AI agents for HR professionals at Workday, supporting millions of enterprises, and built data-heavy enterprise workflows at Datadog and VMware.
I obsess over my craft and detail, but I also live deep inside Claude Code and ship things quickly with intent. I apply my background in Anthropology to deeply understand how people feel, and the cultures and environments they grew up in so I can apply those contexts to the products I build. Outside of work you'll find me playing basketball, exploring new cafes, or working out.
