Summary
Nikhil Mittal is a Vice President of Engineering with 12+ years of experience building cloud-native, secure, high-performance systems for fintech and telecom domains. He blends deep expertise in HPC (CUDA/OpenCL/MPI/OpenMP), CPU microarchitecture and performance modeling with practical leadership in cloud, security and DevOps. At Covalent Capital he scaled engineering work from architect to VP, while prior roles at Cisco, Intel and HPC Links reflect rare cross-domain fluency from wireless SDR protocols to large-scale cluster orchestration (SLURM, Torque). Comfortable shipping production Python/Scala services and accelerating MATLAB and weather models onto GPUs, he pairs rigorous academic grounding (MS ECE, Georgia Tech; IIT Kanpur alumnus) with hands-on deployment experience. An engineer who moves between low-level performance optimization and executive delivery, he often surfaces non-obvious system gains by applying CPU/memory microarchitecture insights to cloud and distributed software design.
