About Me

Hi there! I'm Akhil PS, a Software Engineer from the scenic Kochi, a place where Kerala's peaceful backwaters blend with a rich historical and cultural backdrop. I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University and a love for coding that's as deep as my roots in this beautiful island.

In the past four years, I've been busy honing my skills. Python, data engineering, full-stack development, and automation are just a few areas where I shine. Teamwork and agile practices are my jam, and I'm pretty good at improving processes and inventing new tools that work across different platforms.

I'm all about learning and facing new challenges head-on. Whether that means moving to a new place or tackling the latest tech.

When I'm not coding, I'm out exploring—maybe trekking through uncharted landscapes, sketching, or dancing to my own beat. My thirst for discovery matches my desire to share what I know.

Looking for an engineer who codes with a flair and thinks globally? That's me !
