About

My focus is on agentic workflows, stablecoins, and AI-native product work — building prototypes myself and measuring what works.

01Intro

Akhilesh Singu

I'm a junior at UT Austin's McCombs School of Business studying Management Information Systems, with minors in Computer Science and Finance. I work as a product manager — comfortable writing the React/Next.js, C#/.NET, or Python myself when it helps me make a sharper product decision. My focus is on agentic workflows, stablecoins, and AI-native product work, building prototypes myself and measuring what works. Outside of work I shoot on a Fujifilm mirrorless, I'm training for a half marathon in Malibu this November, and I keep half an eye on options markets for fun.
