Hey, I'm Nitin — a developer focused on backend engineering, building clean and practical systems with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, databases, and data pipelines. Most of what I build starts from a small annoyance or a "wait, how does that actually work" moment — an API I wanted to understand better, a slow query I wanted to fix, a dataset I got tired of cleaning by hand. I'd rather spend a weekend shipping something rough than another tutorial I'll forget by Monday.
Lately I've been pulling AI and GenAI tooling into that mix too, mostly out of curiosity about where backend engineering is headed next.

A journaling backend that pairs your mood entries with the day's weather — Redis caching cut the weather API latency from ~500ms to under 10ms. Mood tracking · Redis caching · Weather API integration |
An HTTP server built from raw sockets, no frameworks — because the best way to trust an abstraction is to build it yourself once. Sockets · Request routing · Static responses |

Still building. Still learning. Still figuring most of it out as I go.
Made with curiosity, a lot of coffee, and a fair share of stack overflow tabs.
