Thoriq Akbar
I build AI products: the backend, how the agents behave, and the interfaces people use. At Pandai, I'm part of the founding AI team and lead engineering for AskPbot, MathDrill, and P&AI.
I was a founding engineer and lead engineer at both Xcent and Newgen Web Development, and I built mobile products at Black Ace Media.
At Difabis, I work alongside 15 Deaf colleagues and the wider team. I help run the cafe and build accessible software for our daily work.
I also enjoy building open-source tools for agent workflows, including Ernie, browser.jr, and Agent Lite.
