Hey, I’m Akash, a freelance software engineer based in Bengaluru.

I got into programming by hacking on Android firmware (XDA, custom ROMs and all that), then moved on to other things. I build and maintain open-source projects. Usually something I needed, or an idea I couldn’t leave alone.

I’m easily interested and rarely bored. A few things I keep coming back to:

• Fiction and non-fiction
• Poetry and linguistics, especially Halegannada
• Digitizing old books
• Cinema from around the world
• Motorcycling
• Philosophy
• Maths

I write here about whatever catches my attention.
