About Nikhil Raj
Currently working as a Software Development Engineer at Cautio, where I’m contributing to backend systems that make the mobility ecosystem of India more secure.Over the past two years, I’ve interned at multiple early-stage startups and healthtech companies, solving engineering problems across domains, ranging from health data integration and API design to in-browser computation and real-time dashboards. These fast-paced environments taught me not just how to build software, but how to build it with purpose, precision, and scalability.My Journey So Far- Cautio (Dec 2024 – Present): Built and scaled backend microservices using Node.js, Redis, and PostgreSQL, working closely on geofencing, alert systems, and real-time GPS data pipelines- Mswasth (Apr – Jul 2024): Created 10+ production-ready APIs and background workflows using Django DRF, Celery, and MySQL, integrating securely with ABDM health data systems in FHIR format- Edilitics (Jul – Aug 2023): Engineered APIs for a no-code analytics platform using FastAPI, MongoDB, and Redis, and handled cross-platform data ingestion from MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake- Tasklabs (Apr – Jul 2023): Built web-assembly based tools for document/image processing using Pyodide, reducing server load by executing transformations directly in the browser.Projects & Community Work- Built platforms like ReviewIt (resume review system), Microservice Blog API, and NutriVista (text-to-nutrition dashboard) using React, Next.js, Django, Docker, and more- Winner at Ethos\'23 – a national-level hackathon by IIT Guwahati- Authored 10+ articles for Scaler Topics to help learners grasp core backend concepts- Contributed and mentored in 5+ open-source programs with Clueless Community and GSSoC (Top 100 contributor).Technologies I Work With- Languages: Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Golang, SQL- Frameworks: Django, FastAPI, Node.js, React.js, Fastify- Tools: Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, Prisma, AWS, Firebase
