Hello Again!

I'm Akshay Benny

I love turning ideas into interactive experiences that feel smooth and intuitive. Whether it's crafting sleek web interfaces, designing efficient backends, or fine-tuning performance to make things lightning-fast, I enjoy creating products that people love to use. I earned a master's in Software Development from the University of Strathclyde and have worked on everything from social platforms, e-commerce web applications to AI-driven tools, along with Chrome extensions and Figma plugins. I'm always looking for ways to make things more efficient, accessible, and engaging. You'll find me exploring new tech or brainstorming my next project when I'm not coding.
