Managed Akshay directly

May 2026

Akshay played an important role in shaping the product and design experience for a dynamic forms and workflows platform we built, with its first major application in procure-to-pay and enterprise finance workflows. What I appreciated most was his ability to iterate quickly without becoming superficial. He was comfortable working through complex workflows, configurable UI patterns, and evolving product requirements while still keeping the product intuitive and usable. He was also unusually hands-on technically for a product designer, especially around prototyping, design systems, and collaborating closely with engineering and other stakeholders to ensure execution quality matched product intent. Akshay brings strong product and UI thinking, execution speed, and ownership, which makes him very effective in fast-moving startup environments.

I worked very closely with Akshay at Kodo, where he was the designer on our procure-to-pay product. We partnered day-to-day from early discovery through enterprise rollout, and he played a key role in translating messy, ambiguous requirements into clear and intuitive product flows. What I really valued was how quickly he could move without being superficial. He took the time to deeply understand user workflows, edge cases, and system constraints, which mattered a lot in a finance and compliance-heavy product like ours. Akshay approaches design as a problem-solving exercise, not just a visual one. He consistently asked the right questions early, thought through requirements end-to-end, and collaborated extremely well with product and engineering. He was deeply invested in the quality of the product and cared about making complex workflows feel simple and trustworthy for users. He's someone I'd happily work with again and strongly recommend to any team building complex, high-stakes products.

I have worked with Akshay for 3 years and highly recommend him. Super hard working, very committed, and loyal. Little bored of DevTools, he wants to try designing something else. From what I saw, he could pick up any tool from Figma to Amplitude at speed and deliver beautiful designs, on time. He has helped immensely with our marketing outreach too. From Product Hunt launches, twitter/Reddit ads, to marketing videos — he owned everything. Akshay will be a great asset for any team he joins.
