Hi, I'm Akshat, a Software Engineer at Microsoft and a 2024 IIT Guwahati graduate. I'm deeply interested in how AI is changing the way software is built: from AI-assisted coding and agentic workflows to engineering productivity and AI-native product experiences. I actively experiment with AI tools and workflows in software development and with personal agent systems that turn context into useful actions. I'm happy to have practical, exploratory conversations about: - Using AI effectively across the software-development lifecycle - AI-assisted coding without outsourcing engineering judgment - Agentic AI workflows, tools and personal agents - Evaluating where AI genuinely improves engineering productivity - Thinking about AI features and products from both engineering and product perspectives - Building an AI learning or experimentation roadmap as a software engineer My goal is not to sell AI hype or pretend to have every answer. I share what I'm learning through hands-on experimentation, discuss trade-offs honestly, and help people turn broad interest in AI into concrete next steps. If you're an engineer, student or product-minded builder exploring how AI fits into your work, I'd be happy to exchange ideas and learn together. I can also talk about the career and interviews as well!
