About Akash Joshi
नमस्ते (Namaste) 🙏🏼, I am Akash!
Web Expert & Software Generalist
👋 About Me
- I'm a Software Generalist with a vested interest in Web Development. I enjoy working throughout all the parts of the software stack, having started my journey building video-games, then moving onto working at a startup which was acquired by Walmart, to working for Meta.
- My philosophy for understanding software is to rebuild things from scratch. Hence, I've worked on a lot of open-source projects, including rebuilding web-servers, AI Tools, and web3 projects from scratch.
- Along with my business, I work as a Senior Fullstack Engineer at RocketConnect, where I help businesses build solutions using TypeScript, Python and open-source technologies! I also help nurture global communities. Currently, I'm working with Svelte London, London Node.JS, Devtools Pune and more!
- I started my career with Open Source, and continue to make projects on my GitHub. Some of them are:
- RocketRPC - a typesafe framework which destroys client-server barriers.
- A reimplementation of React hooks in Typescript, making my own UI library.
- An implementation of BlackJack in React, with animations using framer-motion, which I built in ~4 hours.
- I also tried being an Indie Maker on ProductHunt, creating a few projects which make me ~50 USD a month in passive income.
