I automate business workflows with AI.

I'm Akash Kumar, automation specialist at Gatronova in Karachi. I build AI tools, apps and the infrastructure behind them, and train teams to use them.

Work at Gatronova

App suite

More than 100 applications built for the organization, bringing everyday business processes into software.

Digital twin

An AI digital twin of Gatronova's Chief Tax and Legal Officer, with their face and voice.

Computer vision

An application for real-time tracking and monitoring.

Infrastructure

Running the infrastructure that the app suite and the organization's other services depend on.

AI training

Trained staff at Gatronova and Dvago to use AI in their daily work, with more organizations to come.

Personal projects

Equity curves on AAPL from 2020 to 2025: buy and hold up 125%, MA crossover down 41%, RSI down 7%

Backtester

A desktop app that tests trading strategies on daily stock prices and compares their equity curves, returns, and Sharpe ratios. On five years of AAPL data, neither a moving-average crossover nor an RSI strategy beat buy-and-hold (+125%): time spent short in a rising market cost more than the drawdowns it avoided.
