Hi, I’m Nikhil. I’m a backend engineer with 4 years of experience building and owning high-scale microservices using Go, Python, and Java. I’ve designed and maintained low-latency APIs (p95 < 35 ms) serving 100K+ users in production, with a strong focus on reliability, observability, and clean system design. I enjoy owning problems end to end—from design and implementation to production monitoring—and I’m motivated by building systems that have real business impact. I’m looking to join a team where strong engineering, ownership, and learning go hand in hand, and this role feels like a great fit.
