Hi, I'm

Apramey Akkiraju

I'm a student at Georgia Tech studying computer science, with a concentration in AI and product management. I recently finished my internship at Datadog in New York City, and I will now be headed to Seattle to work at Microsoft as a product management intern.

I have a passion for building the right products and partnering closely with engineering to ensure the human side and the technology come together in the right way.

About Me

Since I was young playing violin in concerts, I have been interested in what makes people tick. Today, as a Computer Science student at Georgia Tech specializing in AI, that curiosity translates into building products people actually enjoy using.

In my experiences as a developer, product manager, and founder, I have seen how dramatically the cost of building software has dropped and how much more important product taste and intuition are as a result. This summer, I will be joining Microsoft as a Product Management intern, where I hope to continue sharpening that instinct.

Previously, I interned at Datadog on the Observability Data Platform team, where I went deep into large-scale data systems and how they power modern developer and AI experiences. Beyond that, I have worked across startups, Fortune 500 companies, and venture-backed environments, wearing hats ranging from software engineer to founder. Across all of these, I have focused on becoming a more thoughtful and precise builder.

I am now looking to continue that trajectory by working on hard problems in high-velocity environments as a product manager, software engineer, or builder.

Outside of tech, I enjoy watching movies and TV shows, rating new food spots on Beli, and playing the violin!
