About

Hey, I'm Akshat or Ack I'm the CTO @ CAMB.AI -- a leading speech research company. We're building foundational AI models to enable storytelling in every language. MARS and BOLI and speech and translation models respectively that are setting new industry benchmarks. I've previously built and scaled Slingshot, an accelerator for talented teenage prodigies in CS and AI. Think about Barcelona futbol camp but for coders, hackers and makers. My research and expertise in CS comes from my alma mater Carnegie Mellon and I've worked on a few cool products/research within Siri. I'm a mimicry artist and heart and it's quite ironic that I get to do what I've loved doing all childhood as my profession now.
