I'm Nagarjun Mallesh

A software engineer, builder, and problem solver.

The intersection of cutting-edge technology and real-world impact has always driven me, and I've never shied away from diving deep into new challenges - whether it's learning Golang with minimal documentation, mastering AWS Bedrock for AI integration, or building mission-critical systems where lives depend on reliability. I've been building with code since my first internship at Digital API Craft in 2019.

Fast forward to 2025 and I've worked across the full spectrum - from banking microservices and emergency response platforms to AI-powered automation and cloud infrastructure. From automating BIOS configurations at Hewlett Packard to architecting serverless platforms with AWS Bedrock to building React frontends with real-time data visualization. Everything I've built, small or big, has been a vital stepping stone for where I am today.

What excites me most about being a Software Engineer is building things that solve genuine problems and create measurable impact. It goes beyond writing elegant code and involves having a passion for understanding user needs, identifying the right problems to solve, and delivering solutions that actually improve people's lives - whether it's coordinating emergency responses 70% faster, helping volunteers onboard efficiently, or enabling banks to process transactions reliably. Starting with deep customer understanding, finding critical problems, shipping solutions quickly, learning from real usage, and then iterating to improve that value over time is the key to exceptional engineering.

This is one of my favorite principles (from first-principles thinking): "Question everything. Build what matters. Skip what doesn't." This resonates deeply with me because I have no desire to build features just because they're technically impressive. Some engineers love that! But it's not for me. I only want to build systems and products that solve real problems, that matter to actual users, and have measurable impact in the world.
