Hi, I’m Akila. I like figuring out how things work, learning, thinking, and occasionally pretending I knew what I was doing all along. I’m interested in tech, design, and how ideas turn into something real. I probably have a bit of a shiny object syndrome, where I start something and suddenly find myself deep into something completely different.
These days, I’m a PhD researcher, which mostly means I spend a lot of time thinking about how technology can help people see and interact with the world a bit better, especially through head mounted displays and mixed reality.
This blog is where I keep track of what I learn, the projects I start, and the ideas that never quite get realized.
