Nitesh Mishra is a pragmatic engineering leader with 12 years' experience building and scaling commerce and social products from concept to production. He currently leads the Commerce & Social team at Thrive Now, having architected a food-ordering and community-driven restaurant discovery platform that combines Elasticsearch search, OpenAI-personalized feeds, and extensive third-party integrations (logistics, POS, payments). Nitesh has repeatedly optimized read-heavy systems to sub-100ms responses, scaled services to handle 800+ RPS, and reduced API latency through caching and query tuning while operating multi-cloud infrastructure on AWS/GCP. He pairs hands-on backend and frontend work with product-focused automation—evidenced by a Chrome extension that slashed merchant onboarding time—and mentors cross-functional teams to deliver measurable business impact. Based in Mumbai, he blends practical system design, monitoring and error-tracking discipline, and a knack for squeezing inefficiencies out of operational workflows.
