Akshar

I build engineering teams that ship reliably, at scale and without burning people out. Over 10+ years across SaaS, HealthTech and AI-powered platforms, I've grown engineering teams from 5 to 23, reduced production incidents by 83%, cut AWS infrastructure costs by 30% and delivered a 40-system AI market intelligence platform with 99.9%+ uptime.

I drive architectural decisions — microservices, federated GraphQL, LLM integration — without losing sight of delivery. Four engineers have been promoted to tech lead under my management.

Currently Engineering Manager at Black Swan Data, leading backend, frontend and DevOps across multiple AWS environments. I run engineering like a product: metrics, roadmaps, clear ownership and a bias toward shipping over perfecting.
