About

Portrait of Akshat Mohiley

Useful things, designed and built.

I’m a product designer and developer in Dresden, studying Medieninformatik (Media Computer Science) at HTW Dresden. My courses put human–computer interaction and interface design next to software engineering and databases, and that pairing shapes how I work.

I start with the people and their problem, sketch the flows, prototype quickly, and then build and ship the result myself. Keeping design and code in one pair of hands means fewer handoffs and decisions that hold up on real devices.

I moved from India to Germany in 2020. Finding my way into a new city is what drew me to products that help people connect.

HUNR

Independent product · in development

Work in progress — not launched

A collaboration platform that starts from people’s everyday skills instead of job titles, for homemakers, retirees and first-time entrepreneurs with an idea. I’m designing and building it alongside Tonyte.

Design approach

  • Skills-first onboarding, one question per step, and idea cards that show what each person brings and needs.

Working today

  • Web app on Firebase: sign-up, onboarding, idea feed, sharing ideas, finding people, connecting and messaging.

Next milestone

  • Fix the inbox and add reporting and blocking, so a first closed test with real people is safe.
