Hey —I’m Nikhil! 👋
Cloud-first full-stack engineer turning ambitious ideas into production systems that move bytes, ideas and people. I’ve spent the last four years at Ample building the frontend, backend and cloud infra that powers Ample's EV battery-swap stations worldwide
| What | Why it was fun |
|---|---|
| Ground-up Monolith | Re-platforming high traffic microservices by designing and migrating core data models for OEMs, fleets and drivers (Node.js, MongoDB, React, MQTT) |
| Config Manager | Designed a self-healing Node.js + MQTT service with a React RBAC console that rolls out configs to 50 + stations in < 5 min and cut on-call toil 90 %. |
| Start Swap on Mobile | Zero-touch driver workflow that boosted station throughput ~21 % via silent push, IoT Core, and MongoDB Atlas. |
