I’m Akshay Kumar. I geek out on systems and infrastructure.

I am a software engineer with more than a decade of experience, with a focus on systems and infrastructure. I currently work at Notion on production serving infrastructure. I have previously worked at Stripe and Yelp on similar teams.

I am big into reading and always have a massive reading list to devour. I love it so much that I decided to create a product to make it an enjoyable experience. It is called Savory. You should check it out.

I grew up in New Delhi, India. I love traveling and experiencing different cultures firsthand. I have lived in San Francisco, California and Hamburg, Germany in the past.

Besides computers, reading and traveling, I also enjoy planespotting, photography, trying different cuisines, strength training, running and spending time outdoors in nature.
