Hi, I'm Aakash.
I like building things and meeting new people. I'm currently Head of Product for Consumer Devices & Experiences at Amazon Ring.
I build consumer products across hardware devices, AI experiences, mobile apps, and web. To build products in today’s world is to care about the million small details that come together to form something people actually use in real life. My career has been focused on products that create practical value for people at scale. Today, more than 100 million people have used products I’ve helped build.

Some things I believe
- It's all in the mind. Mindset is everything.
- Action produces information.
- The future is not yet written.
- You can win if you think you can win.
