Hi, I’m Nitin — a software engineering leader with close to 15 years of experience in the tech industry.
From starting out as an associate engineer to leading teams of 10+ engineers at Google, I’ve gained a deep understanding of how engineering careers evolve and how impactful products are built.
Over the years, I’ve led teams across Google and Intel, contributing to widely-used products like Google Docs, YouTube, and Gmail. My work has spanned multiple time zones, product areas, and cross-functional teams — giving me a global perspective on engineering, product, and UX collaboration.
I’m passionate about building products and mentoring engineers at all levels — from junior developers to tech leads.
I can help you with:
Growing from engineer → lead, and lead → staff Navigating organizational complexity Improving cross-team collaboration and stakeholder management Adopting engineering best practices that scale Developing a philosophical mindset to thrive in tech Resume reviews and career storytelling
