Hi 👋, I'm Nihal Parmar

Full Stack Software Engineer • Distributed Systems • GenAI • Production Engineering

I build scalable backend systems, AI-powered applications, and cloud-native platforms that solve real-world engineering challenges.


🚀 Engineering Impact

  • ⚡ Built production-grade distributed systems processing millions of background jobs daily across event-driven microservices serving 10K+ production users.

  • ☁️ Designed scalable backend infrastructure that expanded system capacity from ~1.5K → 10K+ concurrent persistent connections without downtime.

  • 🤖 Delivered enterprise GenAI platforms combining Document Intelligence, Agentic RAG, Semantic Retrieval, and AI Agents, reducing manual review effort by 80% for 20+ organizations.

  • 🚀 Increased application responsiveness from 7.8 → 9.5+ Apdex through database optimization, caching strategies, and request workflow improvements.

  • 📈 Scaled distributed processing pipelines from 5K → 100K+ records per execution using streaming ingestion and horizontally scalable worker architectures.
