Hi, I’m
Nitesh Babu

I’m a Senior Software Engineer who loves turning ideas into fast, functional, and beautiful digital experiences. I spend most of my time crafting with Next.js, React, Node.js, and diving deep into Python and Django. I’ve built and deployed everything from dynamic CMS driven sites using Strapi, Contentful, Payload, and Umbraco to full scale apps that just work.

With over 5 years of experience, I blend creativity, precision, and a bit of curiosity driven chaos to solve real world problems through code.When I’m not coding, I’m probably tinkering with something new, or breaking things just to fix them better.
