Hey, I’m Nipun! 👋
I’m a backend engineer, skating enthusiast, and avid traveller. I’ve done my bachelors from Indian Institute of Technology(IIT), Roorkee and have been building distributed systems for 5+ years.
Currently working as Senior Software Engineer at Ixigo, India’s largest Online Travel Agency (OTA) by user count, where I architect systems that handle millions of travel searches daily.
Before Ixigo, I spent 2 years building scalable platforms at Flipkart and Tide, gaining experience across e-commerce and fintech domains.
I’m always up for conversation over a cup of tea (green). ☕
What I Do
I specialize in backend engineering with a focus on:
- Distributed Systems: Designing resilient architectures that handle high-scale traffic
- API Development: Building robust, performant APIs using Go and modern frameworks
- System Design: Architecting scalable solutions for complex business problems
- Performance Optimization: Making systems faster, more efficient, and cost-effective
My Journey
My career has been focused on solving complex distributed systems challenges:
At Ixigo - Building travel search infrastructure that processes 10M+ queries during peak seasons, optimizing for both speed and cost efficiency.
At Flipkart - Developed e-commerce platform features serving 100M+ monthly active users, focusing on seller onboarding and catalog management systems.
At Tide - Built financial technology solutions for SME banking, handling high-volume transaction processing and real-time payment systems.
Core expertise: Go, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, AWS, and microservices architecture.
Technical Philosophy
I believe in:
- Simple, maintainable code over clever complexity
- Data-driven decisions backed by metrics and monitoring
- Collaborative engineering through mentoring and knowledge sharing
- Continuous learning to stay ahead of evolving technologies
Beyond Engineering
When I’m not architecting distributed systems:
- 🛹 Skating through the streets and exploring new spots
- ✈️ Traveling to discover new cultures and cuisines
- 🍃 Green tea sessions while reading about tech and planning side projects
Let’s Connect
Whether you want to discuss distributed systems architecture, Go programming, system design patterns, or just chat about the latest skating spots and travel destinations over green tea - I’m always up for a good conversation!
