Hi! I am Bilahari Akkiraju, passionately dedicated to the pursuit and sharing of knowledge through experiential learning. In this digital age, where information is ever-present and easily accessible, I am a strong proponent of project-based learning as the fundamental pillar of education. This approach not only connects students with real-world applications of theoretical concepts but also enriches their understanding in a tangible manner.

My engagement with TinkerOn is a reflection of our shared commitment to this educational philosophy. The mission of TinkerOn aligns seamlessly with my belief in nurturing a hands-on, practical understanding of how theoretical principles are applied in the real world.

Over the last 16 years, I have cultivated a diverse and progressive career in the Bay Area, California, holding various engineering and management roles across top-tier firms. My expertise encompasses a range of cutting-edge fields including semiconductors, computer networking, high-volume manufacturing, and self-driving technologies. This journey has reinforced my conviction in the importance of mastering fundamental principles that shape and drive our ever-evolving world.
