About

A builder shaped by reading, writing, and shipping.

I'm Akshat Srivastava, known online as iamkahanikaar — a 21-year-old CS Engineering graduate based in Greater Noida, originally from Khushinagar, UP. I started building iOS apps with Swift and SwiftUI after buying a MacBook in my second year, and I've since shipped 20+ projects across apps, web tools, writing systems, and hardware experiments.

Currently building GetClauseApp, a privacy policy generator for indie developers, born from my own App Store rejection struggles.

Got banned from Reddit after 3 days. 1.6k views on one post, then account deleted. Here's what happened, what I learned about Reddit SEO, and why I built this site.
