About

I'm Akash Vaghela, a Full Stack Developer and Blockchain enthusiast living in Jamnagar, Gujarat. I've had quite a journey, starting with a degree in Chemical Engineering and transitioning into Full Stack web development.

I had a strong academic record and a keen interest in my studies. My final year project received funding from the Gujarat government's Student Startup and Innovation Policy (SSIP). However, I realized that this path wasn't what I wanted for my career. Trusting my instincts, I switched careers after graduation and joined Masai School to learn coding.

My professional journey took me to Capgemini, where I collaborated with a talented global team while serving their P&G client. I contributed to internal projects like Pizzeria, Badlist, and Portal pages, gaining valuable experience. Following that, I worked with various startups, building products from scratch, interacting with customers, and exploring different tech stacks beyond my initial skill set. I owe my growth to the diverse experiences I've had on these projects, and I'm grateful for each one.

Outside of coding, I enjoy reading books, regardless of the genre, be it tech, fiction, or philosophy. Some of my favorites include Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom, and Animal Farm by George Orwell. While I have many other favorites, these three have profoundly impacted my perspective and encouraged me to think critically. Additionally, I have a passion for watching movies, particularly Science Fiction. I often find myself analyzing the thought processes behind shot selection, sound design, and storytelling.

That's a brief summary about me. While I don't track anything on my blog, I understand the importance of feedback and am open to suggestions. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or X (formerly known as Twitter) .
