College Fests
Cultural nights, welcome parties, freshers & farewells. Games, crowd work and hype on tap.

HOLD THE MIC.
Hey, I'm Akshay — a software engineer who swaps the keyboard for a microphone and turns every crowd into a chorus. College fests, tech summits, award nights — I bring the energy, you bring the audience.
Hey, I'm Akshay — a software engineer building Python backends, AI vision pipelines, IoT systems and live video infrastructure. I'm open for freelance software projects — bring the idea, I'll ship it.
EP.01 — ORIGIN STORY
Two worlds.
One voice.
By night I'm the voice that wakes up the room.
I've grown up on stages — from college auditoriums to open-air courtyards packed with hundreds of screaming students. As an anchor I read the room in seconds, improvise when the script breaks, and keep the energy climbing from the first welcome to the final applause.
Whether it's a Heroes & Villains themed fest with a Joker crashing the stage, a formal felicitation, or a hackathon demo day — the crowd leaves louder than they came.
By day I'm a software engineer who ships.
I design, build and debug real systems — Python backends with FastAPI and Django, YOLO-powered computer-vision pipelines, IoT devices on Raspberry Pi, ESP32 and Jetson, SDR and radar data processing, and live video over RTSP, RTMP and HLS.
I've shipped to the edge and into internet-restricted environments, so I care about software that's reliable, documented and easy to hand over. Now taking on freelance software development projects.

EP.02 — WHAT I HOST
Pick your stage.
From 50 people in a seminar hall to thousands in an open ground — the mic feels the same in my hand.
Tech Summits & Hackathons
A host who can pronounce "Kubernetes" and still get the whole hall clapping on beat.
Award Nights
Polished scripting, smooth transitions and the drama a trophy moment deserves.
Corporate Events
Town halls, offsites, product launches. Professional on the surface, fun underneath.
Weddings & Receptions
Family games, couple intros and a dance floor that never empties.
Talks & Panels
Keynotes, moderation and motivational talks for students and young professionals.

SPOTLIGHT EPISODE
AAMANTRAN 2K23
Theme: Heroes & Villains
The welcome party by the Department of CSE, Jyothy Institute of Technology. A full day of costumes, chaos and cheering — I anchored everything from the formal felicitations to a surprise Joker cameo, keeping hundreds of freshers on their feet.

EP.02 — THE STACK
Built
to ship.
// what I build
Backends, AI vision pipelines and the hardware glue in between — from a camera feed or a radio signal all the way to a live dashboard, deployed even where there's no internet.
// how I work
- Clear scope
- Weekly demos
- Clean, documented code
- Dockerised delivery
- Post-launch support
// open for freelance
Need an API, a computer-vision pipeline, an IoT integration or a deployment that just works? I take on freelance software development projects.

EP.05 — HOW WE ROLL
From brief to bravo.
From idea to deploy.
01
Brief
You tell me the vibe, audience and must-haves.

Rehearse
Sync with the team, AV and performers. No surprises.
04
Showtime
I take the mic. You enjoy your own event.
01
Discover
We talk through the problem, the users and what "done" looks like.
