Hello, I'm Akshay. A Software engineer who enjoys building solutions that make technology accessible and efficient for everyone.
About me
I’m Akshay Sharma, an Engineer who loves turning ideas into real, usable products. Over the years I’ve been building projects that sharpen my skills in modern software development — JavaScript, Node.js, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Postgres SQL, CSS and others. My favorite part of this industry is solving problems in a simple, thoughtful way and seeing others actually use what I build. I care a lot about clean, readable code and intuitive user experiences, and I’m always exploring new tools and patterns to improve as an engineer.
When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me creating something in a different medium — filming and editing videos, taking photos, or experimenting with visual storytelling. I’m also a science enthusiast who loves learning about the universe and how things work. Above all, I see myself as a lifelong learner — always curious, always experimenting, and always looking for the next challenge to grow from.
