About Me

I design and build ultimate things.

I engineer Spatial AI and Data Systems that power decisions worth millions. At Rio Tinto, I build Enterprise AI Search, Remote Sensing pipelines, and Geospatial solutions—all running on Azure, AWS and Kubernetes at enterprise scale.

With 9+ years shipping production systems across backend, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure, I've learned one thing: complexity is easy, simplicity is hard. From architecture to implementation to production AI—I ship.

What People Say About Me

  • Got a chance to work with Nitin when he joined a project at Intel. Technically he has varied skillset and I was amazed to see how quickly he learnt and delivered in the project. One of the few people I looked upto in crisis situations. His expertize was a lot of help to the entire team when we moved from traditional database to Hadoop. He volunteered to take up the ownership and did an excellent job in Big Data.
    Paritosh DivyamApr 13, 2020
  • Strong developer and good user experience acumen!
    Sameer SahayDec 27, 2019
  • Nitin is open to experimentation, trying out new things and a reliable team member. Having the know-how of latest technologies or tools is what sets him apart. He'd easily be the go-to person in the team for solutions to the stickiest of problems — primarily as he'd know some of the unusual approaches to a possible solution. It was a thoroughly rewarding experience working alongside him.
    Arumoy ChakrabortyDec 4, 2018
  • I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nitin on a bespoke Data Capture Android App and a Configuration and Analysis Java Microservices Web Application. In no time at all Nitin stepped forward as the stalwart of the 10 person team, not only leading the build of the Android application but also providing critical support across aspects of Devops setup and Web Application configuration. Every project needs a guy like Nitin, a true maestro.
