CuriosityhasquietlyshapedalmosteverythingI’vedone.
It started with mobile phones. Then cameras. Then writing.
Today, it has somehow become a company, a handful of products, and a life built around technology.
I'm still following that curiosity. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Who is Akshay?/ chapter 01
I wasn't the kid with a business plan. I was the kid who wanted to know how everything worked.
I spent hours exploring mobile phones, installing custom ROMs, changing launchers, and breaking things just to understand how they fit together.
A few years later, I picked up a camera. Photography became a part of my life for years. It taught me something technology never could—patience. Sometimes the best photograph isn't taken because you're fast. It's taken because you waited.
Writing came much later. Sometimes it's about technology. Sometimes it's poetry. Both exist for the same reason: to understand the world a little better than I did yesterday.
Foundations/ chapter 02
The things that shaped me.
I don't believe in static résumés. I believe in the core obsessions that define how we see the world.
Technology
The first thing I became obsessed with. Not because it was trendy. Because I couldn’t stop asking “How does this work?”
Photography
For years I carried a camera more often than a laptop. It taught me observation. Patience. Silence.
Writing
Technology explains how things work. Writing helps me understand why they matter.
Curiosity
If there’s one thing that connects everything I’ve ever done, it’s curiosity. It has never left me.
Focus
Today.
These days I spend most of my time building Cre8sphere Media. It's where everything I've learned over the years comes together.
Some days I'm designing websites. Some days I'm writing articles. Some days I'm experimenting with AI.
Other days I'm simply reading, thinking, or deleting ideas that weren't good enough.
“I don't separate learning from work anymore. They're the same thing.”
Building
Everything I build
starts with curiosity.
Some ideas become websites. Some become products. Some remain experiments. Together, they form the world I'm building under Cre8sphere.
Cre8sphere
The umbrella behind everything I create.
The home for every project, experiment, and idea I choose to build — connected by one goal: making technology and creativity more accessible.
Story/ chapter 04
A non-linear story.
Not achievements. Moments.
Discovered mobile phones.
Curiosity began with tinkering, tweaking, and wanting to know how software worked under the screen.
Picked up a camera.
Started seeing the world differently. Photography taught me patience, observation, and silence.
Writing slowly became a habit.
Whether it was explaining technology or drafting poetry, writing became the way I understood my thoughts.
Stopped consuming ideas.
Started building them. Treating tech not just as a hobby, but as a digital workspace to create useful things.
Still learning.
Still experimenting. Still curious. The build continues, one step at a time.
Questions/ chapter 05
Things I keep coming back to.
Not opinions. Questions.
“Can technology become more human?”
As software and devices grow more complex, how do we keep them feeling personal, warm, and intuitive rather than sterile and distracting?
“Why do simple products feel timeless?”
The urge to add features is constant. But the products we love for decades are usually the ones that do one simple thing perfectly.
“Can AI help people create instead of replacing creativity?”
AI should be a tool that expands what a single human can do, not a replacement for the messy, beautiful process of actual creation.
“How do you build patiently in a world that rewards speed?”
Everything is optimised for scale and speed. But building things of lasting value requires a slower, more deliberate kind of focus.
Photography/ chapter 06
Through my lens.
“Before I wrote articles, before I built products, I spent years chasing light.”
Photography taught me to slow down. In a digital world where everything is moving at high speed, waiting for the right light and observation teaches a slower, more deliberate kind of focus.
Writing/ chapter 07
The quiet work.
Technology is only one part of my life.
Sometimes I write poems. Not because I want to publish books. Because some thoughts don't belong in a tech article.
Life, As It Comes
Reflections on everyday moments, quiet spaces, and thoughts that didn’t fit elsewhere.
Love: A Thousand Faces
An exploration of love in its different forms, transitions, and quiet expressions.
Now/ chapter 08

Currently building
Cre8sphere Media
Developing media hubs, websites, and content automation structures.

Rick Rubin’s thoughts on creativity, observation, and the process of making things.
Currently experimenting with
AI workflows
Testing how LLMs can streamline coding and editing without losing human authenticity.
Currently learning
Patience
Remembering that meaningful builds and photography take waiting and observation.
Current mindset
One step at a time
Focusing strictly on the effort and the craft, not chasing scaling or speed.
Trivia/ chapter 09
A few things about me.
I still get excited about new phones.
I still prefer Android.
Photography taught me more than college ever did.
I write ideas before I sleep.
I redesign things more than I should.
I don’t publish everything I build.
I still have a lot to learn.
Connect/ chapter 10
If something on this page resonated.
I built this website to be honest, not impressive. If you're curious about what I'm building or just want to say hello, I'd be happy to hear from you.
