Hi 👋 I am Akshay

I run the Claude Code + Codex platform for engineers at Fin (formerly Intercom). That means the skills, plugins, hooks, telemetry and evals that every engineer’s agent session runs on. Here, I write about what actually happens when a whole engineering org codes with agents.

I’ve been building software for over 12 years, about 7 of them as an entrepreneur, including a startup that got acquired. Engineering, to me, is more than just a job - it’s an art form, a way to solve problems and create something meaningful.

When I’m not working, I love to travel with my wife and explore new destinations. Fun Fact: we once packed up, gave up our house, and spent a year traveling as digital nomads through places like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Austria, Italy, Croatia and Spain. I recently moved to Dublin, after spending a short (but fun!) year in Dubai.

I’m known as mrdhat everywhere on the internet. The best place to follow what I’m working on is X (@mrdhat), and my DMs are open. You can also reach me at i(at)akshay.co.
