Akhil Dayal



Nice to meet you! I’m Akhil, a researcher, builder, and recent graduate of Harvard’s Master in Design Engineering (MDE) program.

My passion lies in empowering people through technology. Broadly, I explore how to design and build products that democratize access to technological innovation at scale, particularly in artificial intelligence. I have a technical background and formal design training, and I currently work in product operations at Surge AI.

Before MDE, I worked in architecture, finance, and healthcare software. My journey began with a deep-seated passion for mathematical rigor at Williams College, where I majored in mathematics.
