About

Hey! I'm Akshay, an EECS student at UC Berkeley who loves building things — whether it’s a custom PCB, a videogame, or a random app I thought of at 2AM. I get excited about turning random bursts of inspiration into real, working projects.

I'm interested in all things hardware, devices, programming, and AI. I've built up a solid mix of software and hardware skills through classes and a bunch of side projects (some successful, some let's just say ✨educational✨).

What really drives me is using tech to solve real problems and make life better — or at least more interesting. I'm always down to learn something new, break things (on purpose), and build cool stuff that actually works (eventually). Hope you enjoy reading about my projects!
