Hands-on Experience
Professional AI Models
In short: I'm Akshay Babu K, based in Calicut, Kerala, India. By day, I work as a Sales and Marketing Manager, leading client relationships and sales teams. Outside of that, I build real software products on my own using AI-assisted development — what's often called "vibe coding" — with Python, Node.js, SQL, and HTML. This site is where both sides of that live: my professional track record, and the products I've shipped.
This site is for two kinds of people: companies and teams looking for a Sales & Marketing leader with real client- and team-handling experience, and founders, developers, or the simply curious who want to see what a marketer can build when they pick up AI-assisted coding tools.
What does Akshay Babu K do?
I currently work as a Sales and Marketing Manager, and previously served as a Total Sales Team Lead. Over nearly five years, I've handled client relationships end-to-end, led and coached sales teams, and focused on turning strategy into measurable revenue growth. Alongside that, I independently design and build web applications using AI-assisted "vibe coding" — moving from idea to a working product without a traditional dev team.
What is Akshay Babu K's professional background?
- Current role: Sales and Marketing Manager — client handling, team leadership, and revenue growth.

What has Akshay Babu K built?
Panipaali — a peer-to-peer emotional support platform enabling real-time, monetized audio and video "venting" sessions between anonymous users and compensated listeners. It's a dual-sided communication web app built around real-time audio/video routing and a custom microtransaction economy for active listeners.
- Engineered a real-time peer-to-peer communication network using WebRTC for anonymous, emotional-support conversations.
- Built a role-based credit and wallet system so listeners can be compensated for their time.
- Designed and shipped solo, end-to-end, using AI-assisted "vibe coding."

How does Akshay Babu K approach building products?
Instead of learning to code the traditional way, I use AI-assisted development — "vibe coding" — to move from concept to working product fast, using Python, Node.js, SQL, and HTML as the core stack. My marketing and sales background shapes what I build: I think about the user, the business model, and the growth loop from day one, not just the code.
