Hi, my name is
Nikhil.
I build |
I'm a Systems-Minded Engineer based in Goa (Class of 2026). I bridge the gap between pixel-perfect web interfaces and low-level system architecture. Currently building next-gen apps and exploring OS design.
I am a final-year Computer Engineering student with a passion for decoding how things work. My journey began with simple HTML pages, but my curiosity quickly pushed me deeper into the stack.
Today, I find myself comfortable in two very different worlds: building robust, user-centric frontends with Next.js, and managing memory and pointers in C/C++.
When I'm not coding, you can find me researching high-frequency trading algorithms, configuring my Arch Linux setup, or debugging driver issues on my custom OS.
