About Me
I’m a Full-Stack Developer focused on building scalable, AI- and cloud-driven web products that solve real-world problems.
I work across the full lifecycle of an application — from clean, responsive frontends to robust backend systems and cloud-ready architectures. My approach prioritizes performance, maintainability, and long-term scalability over quick demos or short-lived prototypes.
My core stack includes MERN and Next.js, with hands-on experience integrating AI/ML capabilities and automation into real products. I also work extensively with Google Cloud, building cloud-native solutions designed for production environments.
I’ve been featured by Google for Developers for advocating clean, readable, and maintainable code — because good software is built for teams, not just machines.
Beyond writing code, I collaborate with teams, mentor developers, and focus on building systems that create measurable impact.

Recommendations
Success stories from satisfied clients and colleagues
Working with Akshay Kumar on the Codeunia website has been an incredibly smooth and rewarding experience. He initially joined as a team member, but quickly stood out for his dedication, creativity, and sense of ownership—naturally stepping up to lead the web team. What I appreciate most is his calm, collaborative attitude. Whether it's taking feedback, helping others, or staying up late to make sure things run smoothly—Akshay always shows up with the same energy and commitment. Even though the project is still in progress, the impact he's already made is huge. Excited to see where we take this next. Grateful to have him on the team.
