About Me
Hello! My name is Akbar and I enjoy creating things that live on the tech & Businesses. My interest in Technology started back in 2012 when I decided to try editing custom website — turns out hacking together a custom reblog button taught me a lot about HTML & CSS!
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working at an advertising agency, a start-up, an IT Giant, an Innovation Leader corporation, and a Student-led Placement Committee. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences at Gymmedaari for GenZs.
I also recently launched an online store & Fitness Consultancy that covers everything you need to look elegant & fashionable at the same time.
Here are a few skills I’ve have garnered recently:
- Product Management (AI & Machine Learning)
- Marketing Research
- CRM
- Project Management
- Full Stack Developer
- Strategy & Business Transformation
