Software Engineer
I'm Nikhil — a software engineer focused on resilient backends, real-time data pipelines, and ML-powered platforms. Currently a CSE undergrad at SRM University AP, building things that hold up under load.
University-funded elderly monitoring backend — REST APIs, ESP32 sensor streams, and an event-driven alert pipeline that flags inactivity in real time.
RAG-based copilot that indexes large codebases as vector embeddings — chunking, embedding, and serving semantic queries with caching and batching for low latency.
Semantic query engine for policy documents — modular retrieval, response generation, and a caching layer that doubled query throughput.
C++ command-line finance manager with an OOP core, CSV persistence, and analytics — category filters, date-range queries, and monthly spend reports.

I'm a final-year B.Tech student in Computer Science at SRM University AP, ranking in the top 5% of my batch with a 9.12 CGPA. My center of gravity is backend engineering — APIs that don't fall over, pipelines that stay fast under load, systems that are boring in the best way.
"Build things that hold up — quietly, efficiently, and without theatre."
Beyond coursework, I'm engaged in faculty-guided research and developing an early-stage SaaS product aimed at market launch. I learn fastest by shipping — and care most about the seams where systems actually meet reality.
