Akshay Deshpande
Hello, I'm Akshay.
Pronounced Uck-shey.
I recently led design for NGINX products at F5, Inc., including the NGINX One console. Before that I worked as a UX engineer, front-end engineer, mobile developer and back-end engineer.
I work in the tech industry because I believe in its power to, as Apple's "Crazy Ones" advertisement puts it, "push the human race forward". That said, I want to work where I can make a meaningful, positive difference for the people using what I design.
