 About Me
Hello! My name is Akshit, and I would describe myself as a curious and dedicated individual passionate about learning new things every day. I am a recent graduate with a Computer Engineering degree from Thapar University. I wrote my first line of code in 2020, and it has been an exciting journey since then. Over the years, I have gained experience in Web Development and continue to explore new technologies.
As a computer engineer, I have worked with various technologies, including C, C++, Python, Node.js, SQL, Linux, and Shell Scripting, as well as front-end development using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and frameworks like React.js, Next.js. I have also gained experience with Android development, working with Kotlin, MVVM architecture, and Dagger-HILT etc for seamless functionality.
During my time at Standard Chartered Research & Technology (SOLV), I have worked on projects involving payment gateway integrations, chat system migrations, performance optimizations, and compliance with the latest Android security standards. Debugging, optimizing applications, and ensuring smooth user experiences have been key aspects of my work.
I enjoy problem-solving, pushing boundaries, and constantly improving my skills. My portfolio showcases a collection of projects that reflect my technical proficiency and creativity. Let's take a tour together!

Aug 2024 - Present
Standard Chartered Research & Technology

In my current role at Standard Chartered SOLV, I've had the chance to be in some projects that I'm really proud of. One of the first things I worked on was the integration of the RazorPay SDK. It was a bit of a challenge, but I was able to build a system that allows us to easily switch between RazorPay and PayU, cutting downtime by 30%. Honestly, the satisfaction of seeing that change improve the payment process for our users was huge.


Another project that was close to me was the migration of the Freshchat Mobile SDK. The goal was to ensure that users could message without any interruptions. I added features like unread message tracking and customized notifications.


When Android 14 came along, there were new security policies that needed attention. I took the lead on updating our app to stay compliant with the latest standards. It was a bit of a deep dive, especially with new media permissions and the Photo Picker API, but I felt really good knowing that we were keeping users' data secure.


Fixing bugs and improving the app's performance has been a significant part of my role. I addressed issues such as cart checkout failures and UI crashes, which were impacting user experience. While it wasn't always the most exciting work, the improvements made after resolving those problems significantly reduced crashes and enhanced the overall stability. It was rewarding to see how those fixes had a positive effect on the user experience.

SDE Intern
Feb 2024 - Aug 2024
Standard Chartered Research & Technology

When I started my internship, I was just soaking in everything I could. I dived into MVVM architecture, Dependency Injection, and all the other best practices that come with Android development. It was a steep learning curve, but it gave me the solid foundation I needed to write scalable and maintainable code.


One of the biggest projects during my internship was helping transition the payment system from PayU to RazorPay. I learned a lot through the whole process—how to analyze the existing system, identify what needed fixing, and ensure the transition went smoothly. The fact that it improved payment efficiency felt really rewarding.


I spent a good chunk of my internship troubleshooting and debugging. I fixed some critical crashes and UI bugs. It was my first experience at real problem-solving, and by the time I wrapped up, the app felt much smoother and more reliable.
