RRohit Nishad

I build systems that don't break at 3am.

Software engineer with 7+ years building production systems — SaaS APIs, AI products, mobile apps, and blockchain infrastructure.

I help founders turn difficult technical problems into reliable software — from architecture and AI workflows to the infrastructure that keeps it running.

Case Studies

Problems I've Solved.

Real production problems — written plainly, for founders and technical leaders.

Scale & Backend

A UK SaaS platform was losing users because the API couldn't keep up with growth.

When user traction outpaces backend architecture, founders often face a tough choice: endure the churn, or pause feature development for a costly 6-month rewrite. We found a third path.

Approach

Instead of a costly rewrite, we profiled the bottlenecks, fixed the database schemas, and introduced targeted job queues for heavy background tasks.

Learned

"Most scaling problems don't need microservices—they need better indexing, smarter queues, and simple caching. Keep it boring, keep it fast."

AI & Reliability

An AI support automation tool worked perfectly in demos, but hallucinated and failed with real customers.

Moving AI from a flashy demo to a production environment is the hardest transition in modern software. Here is how we stabilized a highly volatile LLM product.

Approach

Built structured evaluation pipelines, implemented strict fallback chains, and added observability to track every token and decision the LLM made.

Learned

"LLMs are incredibly flaky infrastructure. You have to wrap them in traditional software engineering practices—timeouts, retries, and circuit breakers—to make them reliable."

Mobile & Web3

A Web3 social platform needed to support 10,000+ active users with real-time features, but the app was lagging.

Web3 apps are notoriously difficult to build for mobile. When blockchain operations block the UI thread, users perceive the app as slow and broken. We had to rethink the state management.

Approach

Restructured the React Native architecture, moved heavy blockchain operations off the main thread, and implemented an efficient WebSocket layer.

Learned

"Mobile performance is almost entirely about state management and thread blocking. Get your data model right early, and the UI will stay smooth."

How I think

Engineering principles.

Not platitudes. Things I actually optimise for when the stakes are real.

01 —

Performance First

Build around measurable outcomes — latency, throughput, error rate — not assumptions.

02 —

Simple Systems

Boring, understandable architecture beats clever abstractions. Complexity is a liability.

03 —

Observability

If you can't see it in production, you can't improve it. Everything is instrumented from day one.

04 —

Design for Growth

Get multi-tenancy, data models, and job topology right early. Retrofitting is the most expensive refactor you'll do.
