About Me (the honest version)

I’m Akshansh. Software engineer. Co-Founder and CTO of Mayson. Chronic builder of things that probably didn’t need to exist — but I made them anyway.

Over the last 10+ years I’ve built backends for systems that couldn’t afford to go down, obsessed over language internals, and somehow convinced myself that the right response to “I wish Go had a Django-like framework” was to just… build one. That’s January. It exists now.

Then I thought: what if backend development had no code at all? That became BackStract — a no-code BaaS that handles the entire backend lifecycle so you don’t have to. You’re welcome.

At some point I also wrote a programming language from scratch. It’s called Ravs. Did I need to? No. Did I learn more from it than from any course or book? Absolutely. That’s kind of my thing — if I want to understand something, I build it until I do.

These days I’m deep in Mayson — an AI-assisted development platform where code changes are treated as controlled engineering operations, not just vibes and prayers. Here’s the thing that keeps me up at night: only 0.6% of the world’s population can code. The other 99.4% have ideas, businesses, and problems worth solving — they just can’t build their way out. Mayson is for them. Because good ideas shouldn’t have to wait for an engineering team.

I care about system architecture, distributed systems, compiler theory, and why things break at scale. I read dense technical books for fun. My bookshelf is basically a cry for help and a flex at the same time. And lately, I’ve added AI to the list of things I’m genuinely, obsessively figuring out — losing sleep over it, if I’m honest. Not because it’s broken me, but because it’s the most interesting problem I’ve touched in 10 years and I can’t put it down.

Next on the list: apparently I want to write an operating system. Don’t ask.

If any of this resonates — or if you want to argue about framework design at 1am — find me on LinkedIn, X, or GitHub. I’m around.
