Rohit Nishad

Software Engineer · AI · Web · Mobile · Blockchain

I’m Rohit — a backend engineer and full-stack developer with seven years of experience designing and shipping software that has to stay up. I partner with SaaS founders, CTOs, and engineering managers to take products from early traction to reliable scale.

Most of my work has lived in healthcare, marketplaces, AI, and blockchain — domains where downtime is expensive and architecture decisions compound quickly. I’ve built matching engines for hospitals, indexers for on-chain social products, gateways for AI marketplaces, and the automation systems quietly keeping companies running.

I focus on the boring fundamentals: clean data models, predictable APIs, observable systems, and deployments your team isn’t afraid of. The interesting parts of the product come from giving those fundamentals room to breathe.

I work as a long-term technical partner more than a contractor — ideal for teams that want senior engineering judgment, not just hands on keys.

Beyond the Code

Building scalable systems is my profession, but music is how I recharge. I spend a lot of my downtime playing guitar and creating covers. Here are a few recent sessions:
