Hi there! I’m Akshay, and you’ve stumbled across my oft-neglected blog. I’m a programmer in foggy San Francisco. After stints at Uber, Microsoft, and a pile of startups, I’m currently the Field CTO at Antithesis. We build the world’s best tools for testing distributed systems.
Shoot me an email and say hello, or read a bit more about me.
