02 / One person. Two instincts.
I like understanding how things work.
And finding a better way to make them.
I'm Abhiram Kanna — AKS. A full-stack engineer and creative professional based in Visakhapatnam, India.
My work spans real-time distributed systems, authorization modeling, and platform infrastructure. As a founding engineer at Edirq, I own core platform systems end-to-end.
The same curiosity takes me behind a camera, into an edit, or through a brand identity. Technical rigor and creative judgment are part of the same practice.
