Hi, I’m Akshata — also known as Aatoh. I am a software engineer and cloud architect specializing in data and generative AI applications. I am a Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

Currently, I lead engineering at Tilla Technologies GmbH in Berlin. I am also the founder of Keis, a tech consultancy focused on helping enterprises prototype and launch generative AI products on Google Cloud. Previously, I have held senior engineering roles at Metaphi, nas.io, Rakuten's viki.com, and the National University of Singapore.

Once upon a time, I majored in Architecture (*for buildings*) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur in India. However, a random side project in computational architecture pivoted the type of architect I would have been. I enjoy speaking at (and occasionally organizing) tech events.

I grew up in Le Corbusier's urban poetry in concrete—Chandigarh. Now, I split my time between Germany, Singapore, and India.
