Top SchoolNimish Agrawal is a Software Engineer with 8 years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems, currently at FirstWork (YC S24) in Bengaluru. He has led design and implementation of high-throughput media platforms at LG Ad Solutions, including a Live TV commercial indexing system that processed 1.5M commercials across seven countries and a feed distribution service serving 15k+ clients.

He has a strong foundation from NIT Tiruchirappalli and a track record of speeding data pipelines (up to 75%) and reducing storage footprint through automated content lifecycle tooling.
