Nikhil Rupanawar is a Lead Software Engineer based in Pune with about 12–13 years of hands-on experience building maintainable, performant backend systems primarily in Python and increasingly in Go. He has driven cloud, storage, virtualization, and SaaS initiatives across companies like DDN Storage, Incedo, Calsoft and Globant, often focusing on architecting systems that balance trade-offs for long-term operability. A pragmatic craftsperson, he emphasizes simplicity, standards and thoughtful design to make systems understandable today and adaptable tomorrow. Comfortable moving between R&D and production engineering, he pairs deep backend expertise (IAM, REST, storage/virtualization) with practical AWS/cloud experience. An understated trait is his consistent focus on the developer and operator experience—making code kind to those who maintain it.
