01 — About
Hello — I'm Daksham.

A short introduction.

I'm a full-stack software engineer based in India, with seven years of professional practice. I own and build products across early-stage startups and enterprise platforms — engineering resilient web & mobile applications that hold real weight underneath.

My core strength is bridging clean frontend experiences (React, React Native) with robust backend microservices (Node.js, Python, Golang) and cloud infrastructure. These days, I actively specialize in AI agent development, integrating LLM workflows, LangChain, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) into production software.

Outside of engineering, I'm usually reading about history, politics or markets, or playing chess. I'm happiest when leading a small, senior team through complex architecture and hard product challenges.

Four years at Cyndx.

Four years in, still shipping — and still learning something new every week.

We've had the pleasure of working with Daksham for several years, and throughout that time he has consistently been a reliable, efficient, and highly dependable member of our team. He delivers high-quality work, meets deadlines, and can always be counted on to follow through on commitments.

One of Daksham's greatest strengths is how easy he is to work with. Communication has always been clear, professional, and proactive. He asks thoughtful questions when needed, keeps everyone informed of progress, and responds quickly, which made collaboration smooth even on complex, long-term projects.

Beyond his technical skills, Daksham has been a genuinely positive presence on the team. He's adaptable, takes ownership of his work, and approaches challenges with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset. Having someone we could consistently trust made a real difference over the years.

It has been a pleasure working with Daksham, and I would not hesitate to hire him again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, dependable, and easy-to-work-with professional

Hobbies, in earnest.

What I do when I'm not coding.

01
Meditation

Trying to sit daily. Some days go better than others.

02
Chess

Slow games, faster blunders. Working on both.

03
Reading

History, politics and finance — anything that explains how we got here.

04
Markets

Following stocks closely. More hobby than portfolio strategy.

05
Debates

Logical reasoning as a sport. Happy to argue either side.

06
Forecasting

Trying to predict the future. Mostly wrong, occasionally smug.
