About
I'm Akash — a software engineer with around 10 years of professional experience across adtech, fintech, privacy compliance, and cloud infrastructure, in the US, UK, and India. Currently a Staff Software Engineer at Superbet.
Outside of work, I build side projects — useful tools for myself or experiments. I write occasionally on Substack.
I'm also a musician. I play guitar and piano and dabble in music production. My originals and covers are on YouTube .
I stream on Twitch at taxbros — mostly playing Dota 2. Gaming content also lives on YouTube.
