Hey, I'm Nikhil 👋

Full-stack engineer who ships fast & builds things that scale.

I turn ideas into production-ready products. From MVP to scale, I've built web apps, mobile experiences, and backend systems across fintech, AI, and developer tools. Currently looking for my next full-time opportunity.

People who've dealt with me

managed nikhil for 3 years at bajaj. he joined as an intern and by the end was handling legacy rewrites, infra issues, the kind of stuff that needs patience and actual problem solving. doesn't sit around waiting for tickets, usually finds issues before they become problems. solid to work with.
