About Me
Boston, MA Microsoft: 8 yrs Cornell: CS & Math
Hi, I'm Nikhil — a full-stack developer who was previously a Senior PM at Microsoft, where I led the Office.com home page (100M MAU).
My PM background shapes how I build: I lead with a customer-first mindset, make data-driven decisions, and am comfortable collaborating cross-functionally. I know how to scope what matters, align people around it, and ship.
These projects took me from personal scripts to production apps with real users — and I'm excited to bring that drive and a PM's perspective to an engineering team.
Hire Me
I'm actively looking for full-time engineering roles. If my projects above look interesting, I'd love to hear from you.
Also open to freelance and contract work.
