Hey, I'm Nish 👋

Day 0 engineer → Fortune 500 platforms → $7M saved → still writing code at midnight.
GitHub Star 3x ⭐ | New York

🧠 What I Do

I'm a Staff Platform Engineer building infrastructure that Fortune 500 companies run on. Right now I'm at Caesars Entertainment — designing the cloud backbone for regulated sports betting across 35 US states.

Things I've shipped that actually matter:

  • 💰 $7M in AWS savings through Graviton migration, FinOps automation, and platform consolidation
  • 🔧 96% reduction in production incidents by rebuilding reliability from reactive firefighting to self-healing systems
  • 🚀 Developer platforms serving 2000+ engineers — cutting onboarding from 4 weeks to 3 days
  • 🤖 AI-powered FinOps tool using AWS Bedrock that identifies cost waste automatically — $2M found so far
  • ✈️ Flew to 3 continents to talk about Platform Engineering, SRE, and open source (ask me about London and Seattle)

🌟 GitHub Stars (2021 · 2022 · 2023)

One of 89 engineers worldwide recognized by Microsoft with the GitHub Stars Award three years in a row. Not for the commits — for teaching 1000+ students open source, establishing GitHub × Linux Foundation university partnerships, and helping enterprises adopt GitHub Enterprise across India.
