Skip to contentAkshat Thakur Hey, I’m Akshat Thakur, a software developer building full-stack and backend systems. ✌️
Other parts of my life
Passions, quirky obsessions, street food standards, and the things that make me tick outside of code.
The itch to create
Building things
I have a hard time leaving ideas sitting in a notes app. When an everyday friction annoys me or an exciting idea strikes, my instinct is to open an editor and hack together a tool that works. Turning random thoughts into working products is my absolute favorite pastime.
Long before I wrote a single line of code, I spent years filling sketchbooks with pencils, watercolors, and random drawings. For me, interface craft, typography, and visual polish are just digital art with a much better undo button.
Pitch & courts
Cricket & sports
Unapologetically a cricket romantic at heart — I can debate field placements, bowling spells, and match tactics for hours. When I’m not glued to a match, you’ll catch me on a badminton court, shooting hoops in basketball, or plotting moves in chess.
Peak Bollywood OG
Classic comedies
Hardcore Bollywood buff with an unhealthy ability to quote Hera Pheri, Hungama, Hulchul, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and Garam Masala in daily life. 2000s Priyadarshan comedies are my absolute comfort zone and peak storytelling.
Indori by birth
Food & cravings
Being from Indore, having high culinary standards is basically a civic duty. My daily problem-solving efficiency is directly fueled by steaming poha-sev, midnight Sarafa street-food runs, and chai with friends. Life is too short for bland food.
First-principles thinking
Curiosity & research
I love digging until I hit the physics of how things actually tick under the hood. Explored academic research by presenting a paper at ICSEE 2024 (MANIT Bhopal) on sustainable energy and diving into quantum hardware bottlenecks just to see what’s possible.
