Nikhitha

I'm a backend and AI engineer with 3+ years turning ideas into products that actually work at scale. I build with Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and AWS, focusing on systems that are fast, reliable, and easy to maintain.

Recently, I've been building LLM-powered features and RAG systems using LangChain, Pinecone, and OpenAI. I handle the full cycle: architecting the backend, deploying with Docker and CI/CD, and setting up monitoring so we catch problems early. There's something satisfying about watching metrics stay green.

What drives me is bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI and solid engineering, making sure the cool stuff actually ships and performs when it hits production.

I'm always up for conversations about challenging AI and infrastructure problems. If you're building something interesting, let's talk!
