Hello, I’m Akshay Surve!

Builder | Exploring How Agentic AI Will Reshape Work

For the past 18 years, I’ve been obsessed with turning whiteboard ideas into real-world software, building from 0→1→scale, then starting again.

Currently exploring how Agentic AI can empower operators, automate decisions, and reimagine workflows and org charts from the ground up. This is an R&D-driven phase: tinkering with LLM-based systems, prototyping agentic workflows, and staying deeply hands-on with code, design, and real-world problems.

This is a personal repository of my experiments to live a life with full power. I have a son who thinks I’m a superhero and a wife who keeps me grounded.
