I'm Abhishek Rakshit. I live in Vancouver Metro Area.

I build software, consult on digital marketing, and coach people through the messy parts of being human.

Through Profit Driven, my technology and marketing consultancy, I help businesses ship products and grow their reach. My technical work spans full-stack development, mobile apps, and AI-powered tools like AstroBuddy and AnxietyBuddy — projects that sit at the intersection of AI and self-understanding.

At UBCO, I researched consciousness in AI, exploring how machines might develop self-awareness and what that means for human-computer interaction.

More recently, I've been drawn to mental health coaching. I work with tech workers, creatives, and curious minds to help them build self-awareness and navigate stress. This work is informed by psychology, contemplative traditions, and my own journey through the demands of the tech industry.

Whether I'm writing code, advising on growth strategy, or sitting with someone working through a difficult chapter, the thread is the same: understanding how people think, and building things that actually help.
