Hi, I’m Akshat.

I studied mathematics and mechanical engineering (formally, and other cool things informally) at BITS Pilani, where I experienced firsthand that time is not a rigid construct. I grew up in this region of India and currently live in Bengaluru.

I’m currently experimenting with what’s possible with light.

I have previously worked with really cool people solving hard problems in food delivery optimization, personal robot companionship, GPS-free quantum navigation, high-altitude unmanned flight, nuclear fusion, and safe confined space accessibility.

I’m ever hungry to learn about everything under the sun and beyond. My interests are particularly strong in applied math, physics, space, electronics and computers, music, and finding creative, brilliant solutions to seemingly hard problems (0x5F3759DF).

I’m always eager to talk to people about what keeps them up all night. I love to come up with ideas, theories, and theses, and work on them together.
