About Me

Boston, MA Microsoft: 8 yrs Cornell: CS & Math

Hi, I'm Nikhil. I'm a software engineer with a Cornell CS degree and 8 years of product leadership at Microsoft.

At Microsoft, I managed the Office.com home page experience (100M MAU), collaborating closely with engineers, designers, and stakeholders.

Since then, I built the games, data visualizations, and automations you see above. Shipping these web apps to real users taught me what it takes to write maintainable, production-ready code. I'm excited to bring this experience into my next role.
