✋ Hi, I’m

Nitesh Babu

I'm a Senior Software Engineer who turns ideas into fast, functional, and beautiful digital experiences. I've built and shipped everything from high-traffic CMS-driven platforms using Strapi, Contentful, Payload, and Umbraco to full-scale apps used by millions, always focused on performance, accessibility, and clean architecture.

With over 5 years of experience, I blend creativity with engineering precision to solve real-world problems through code. When I'm not building, I'm writing about what I've learned or tinkering with something new.
