Hi, I'm Akshata.

I write about building work around life, on LinkedIn and in Alchemy, my newsletter. If my words resonate with you, feel free to write to me at [email protected].

The story so far

My career, and by extension my life, turned around when I responded to a call for tech writers from MakeUseOf. Suddenly I was getting paid to do what I already did and enjoyed: write + help people set up, use, and troubleshoot everyday tech. That eventually led me to a content manager role, first at MakeTechEasier and then at Time + Tide Watches.These days, I'm focusing on the part I've always loved most—sharing my ideas and experiments through words. In a way that speaks to people rather than search engines.When I’m not working, I'm usually browsing internet bylanes or an offline market, or taking a catnap. My party trick? Reciting the alphabet backwards.
