I’m Nikhil Tokas, a full-stack engineer with a design-first approach to building production-grade applications. Coming from a solid background in communication design, I’ve built a beat marketplace as a self-learned developer from first principles—including an OWASP-aligned IAM model, a custom FFmpeg-based audio streaming pipeline, and a hexagonal storage architecture. I thrive at the intersection of distributed systems, product thinking, and creative design, always aiming to deliver robust, user-focused software. I bring a rare blend of system-level engineering and creative design to end-to-end product development. My experience spans crafting scalable SaaS platforms for musicians, shaping user experiences, and leading cross-functional teams to ship polished, impactful solutions.…I’m Nikhil Tokas, a full-stack engineer with a design-first approach to building production-grade applications.
