Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNikhil Nygaard is an Infrastructure Engineer with nine years of software experience and a B.S. in Computer Engineering, blending deep cloud and site-reliability expertise with hands-on development in Go and JavaScript. He has designed and operated enterprise AWS deployments and observability for high-traffic Kubernetes environments, and co-founded FlowMojo where he owned architecture, SDLC, and infrastructure for a business process automation platform. His background spans startups to Fortune 500s—from building failover and ProxySQL workflows to delivering idempotent infrastructure with Ansible and CloudFormation—so he’s comfortable across the full stack of platform, developer tooling, and operations. Passionate about statically typed APIs and new browser capabilities, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a founder’s product sensibility. A detail that illustrates his practical mindset: he’s applied capacity planning for 14x–21x traffic spikes while maintaining developer ergonomics.
