Profile: https://flows.cv/akshatshah

I'm a software engineer with a strong bias toward building, especially when it comes to simplifying complex systems. Over the past few years, I’ve worked on large-scale data infrastructure at companies like AWS and LiveRamp, supporting high-volume, high-impact systems. 

Outside of work, I became deeply interested in a more personal challenge: helping everyday investors keep more of what they earn. That curiosity led me into the world of tax-aware investing - where timing, tax rules, and portfolio strategy can quietly compound into significant long-term gains.

So I started building. Quietly, iteratively, and with one core question in mind:
How can software help investors unlock tax alpha - the edge of better after-tax returns?

Right now, I’m working on a product in fintech that focuses on automation, tax optimization, and giving individual investors access to the kinds of strategies once reserved for institutions.

Always happy to connect with others working at the intersection of technology, investing, and financial behavior.
