👋 I am Akshay Deo, a Computer Engineer from Pune, India. Co-founder of 3 startups, out of which, One failed, One we couldn't launch and One got acqui-hired 🎉.

I have been fascinated by computers since childhood. Seeing my father work on a 286 was awe-inspiring for me and has continued to be since. Later this transpired into a life-long hobby/profession for me.
I wrote my first computer program when I was 14, using VB Script 6.0 and MS Access DB, for my father's construction company. Since then, I have been building programs/products all my life.

Currently I am managing Importers team along with Interceptor and Network Proxy at Postman. Before this I was Head of Product & Engineering at Postman and leading Tools (API Design, API Mock, Documentation, Monitoring and API Client). In the past, I was leading Search, Reporting, Api Design and Mock products.
