About me

Hey! I'm Akshit, an Engineering Physics undergrad at IIT Delhi with a minor in Computer Science & Engineering.

Currently a Research Intern at Harvard University working with Prof. Yilun Du on multi-agent systems. I'll be joining NK Securities as a Quantitative Researcher this summer.

I'm passionate about Quantitative Finance, AI/ML, Agentic Systems, and Backend Engineering. I love building things that work — from trading algorithms to LLM pipelines to full-stack applications.
