I'm Akansha Tiwari, a fullstack software engineer and AI engineer.

I studied Computer Science at ABV-IIITM Gwalior (B.Tech, 2017–2021, CGPA 8.08/10), then spent four years at Phaidra shipping production systems end-to-end, building a debugging tool for industrial operators, a versioned constraint evaluation engine, and frontend on-call ownership across production incidents.

Before that I led a platform migration at Reliance Jio (native Android to responsive web), contributed meaningful open-source work to Thanos (CNCF) in Go, and interned at Rakuten building internal tooling. Day to day I work in TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Go, and Java. I'm actively learning Python and deepening my distributed systems knowledge.

I use Claude and Cursor for daily development and think carefully about how AI tooling fits into sustainable engineering practices. I'm drawn to problems where reliability and observability aren't optional — where good engineering directly impacts users.

Based in India (IST). Open to full-time roles, contract work, and collaboration with strong teams.
