Hi, I am Nikho. I build backend systems, lead teams, and negotiate with the AWS Empire.
7+ years across banking, ecommerce, fintech, and developer education. Mostly shipping reliable systems, occasionally shipping jokes into production.
About
Started with Java and MySQL for banking, then moved into ecommerce and fintech where uptime and payroll days are equally terrifying. Today I lead engineering at Jublia and keep features, product ideas, and infrastructure aligned.

Why Another Portfolio?
This site is the backend story. Those sites show experiments.
I use this site for experience, leadership context, and the practical side of shipping. My other portfolios highlight side projects, visual experiments, and product-focused builds.
