AKIN is built by a small crew of travellers, builders and hospitality obsessives. We hand-pick every stay, write every line of code, and answer every member message ourselves.
Founders, engineers and designers who'd rather be on the road than in an office
Co-founder
Long-time hospitality operator who's spent more nights in boutique hostels than most people have on holiday. Leads partner strategy and the curation of every stay in the network.
Engineering Lead
Builds the platform that powers AKIN end-to-end — from the booking flow to the loyalty engine to the partner dashboard. Has very strong opinions about TypeScript.
Engineering
Full-stack engineer working across the website, dashboard and partner tooling. Cares deeply about the details that make the platform feel calm and considered — every interaction, every dashed border.
Engineering
Engineer focused on integrations, data pipelines and the things that quietly make the platform reliable. Equally comfortable in a database and on a long-haul flight.
QA
Keeps AKIN honest. Runs the regression suites, hammers every booking flow on every device, and finds the edge cases the rest of us miss. The reason staging stays sane.
