Nitansh
Shankar
Full-stack developer building web applications and exploring AI systems. Most days are spent shipping features, learning something new, and figuring out how to turn ideas into working software.
Expertise_
Full-stack development with a growing focus on AI systems. Work spans the entire process, from shaping an idea and designing the architecture to building, deploying, and refining the final product.
Frontend
Responsive interfaces built with an emphasis on clarity and usability. Careful attention to interactions, visual polish, and the details that make an application feel intuitive to use.
Backend
Backend services, APIs, authentication systems, and databases. A preference for straightforward architectures that are easy to understand, maintain, and extend.
AI & ML
LLMs, retrieval pipelines, tool calling, and AI-powered workflows. Particular interest in practical applications where intelligent systems solve real problems rather than exist as standalone demos.
Integration
Frontend and backend brought together into complete products with predictable data flow, consistent behavior, and a smooth user experience across the application.
