Akash builds free, privacy-first web utilities. He created the YouTube Thumbnail Downloader to give creators, designers, and researchers a fast way to grab official thumbnail stills without sign-ups, watermarks, or tracking. Outside of this tool, he works with Next.js, TypeScript, and modern image pipelines.
