Hi, I'm Anand
Thakkar

From ledgers to lines of code, my journey has been one of reinvention, curiosity, and continuous learning.

For eight years, from 2012 to 2020, I worked in the field of Taxation and Accounting, where I gained deep exposure to the regulatory and financial systems that shape businesses and individuals alike. My career began at Sunil B. Thakkar & Co., where I handled a wide range of responsibilities including Income Tax and GST return filings, TDS compliance, tax assessments, and appellate proceedings. Those years taught me discipline, analytical thinking, and the importance of precision in financial and legal processes.

I remain deeply grateful to my mentor, CA Sunil B. Thakkar, and the colleagues who guided me during that phase of my career. Their mentorship laid the professional foundation that continues to influence how I approach complex problems today.

During this period, I also began working on an educational initiative called Taxaltus, aimed at helping new assessees and individuals understand the technical jargon often used in taxation and finance. The goal was simple yet meaningful, translate complex tax terminology into clear, practical explanations so that people could better understand the tax filing process and the financial concepts they encounter in everyday life.

While working closely with financial systems and regulatory processes, I became increasingly fascinated by how technology could simplify complex workflows and make information more accessible. That curiosity eventually led me to explore programming and software development.

What started as exploration soon turned into a new career path.

Today, I work as a Software Engineer, building scalable backend systems and digital platforms using technologies like Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, and cloud-native architectures. My background in taxation and finance gives me a unique perspective when designing systems that deal with complex business rules, compliance requirements, and financial data.

Looking back, the journey from taxation to technology was not a departure, it was an evolution. The same curiosity that once drove me to understand financial systems now drives me to build technology that makes complex processes simpler, smarter, and more accessible.
