Hi, I’m Akshata. I am a cloud architect, specializing in building in data applications. I am also part of the Google Developer Expert (GDE) program for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Currently in Berlin, I split my time between Germany, Singapore and India.

In 2024, I founded Keis, a tech consultancy to help enterprises evaluate latest trends in tech like AI, ML, and Web3 by leveraging cost-efficient cloud-native approaches. Before this, I was senior engineer and tech lead at Awen, NasAcademy, Rakuten Viki and the National University of Singapore.

I am a self-taught developer and learned how to code with FreeCodeCamp and Udacity. In 2015, I graduated with a degree in Architecture (*for buildings*) from IIT Kharagpur in India. However, a hacky internship changed the type of architect I was supposed to have been (read here). I enjoy teaching and doing tech walkthroughs to encourage more cross-domain collaborations and to help make the transition easier for career shifters like myself.
