about me.
Product manager, designer, side-builder. Based in Dubai.
who
I'm Akhil - a product enthusiast based in Dubai, UAE. Currently PM at one.com, leading agentic AI development for the Website Builder.
I started as a graphic designer, moved into product design, then community management, and eventually product management. That journey means I bring both a craft sensibility and a systems mindset to whatever I build.
Outside work I'm usually shipping something on the side - because that's where the fun lives.
