Nikunj Saini — A dev

Backend developer · Exploring Ai and Rag

I’m a developer who likes turning ideas into things that actually work, from simple concepts to useful products people can interact with.

A little context

I’m a computer science student who learns by taking ambitious ideas all the way to working products — from a football performance platform in Go to university systems and student-focused applications. I work across Go, TypeScript, JavaScript, React, PostgreSQL, and backend systems. I’m currently exploring AI agents, RAG, and LLM-powered applications, looking for practical ways to bring intelligent systems into the products I build.

2026 · An Imdb for sports

PerformX

A community archive for the FIFA World Cup 2026 where fans rate matches, players, and performances.

I built the system around a stateless Go REST API, SQLC-generated queries, PostgreSQL connection pooling, and JWT/OAuth authentication. A background worker pre-computes rolling trending scores, taking analytics queries from roughly 500ms to under 5ms. The Next.js 15 frontend uses SSR and edge caching to keep public reads off the primary API.

2026 · Event management platform

Eventyy

A university event platform for fests, seminars, tournaments, registrations, and live competition progress.

The platform includes role-based access for admins, coordinators, and students, with JWT and OTP verification. I designed the data model for solo and team registrations, PvP bracket progression, dynamic leaderboards, and a secure Cloudinary/Multer badge verification flow. Deployed with Vite on Vercel and the backend on Render.

2026 · Helpful project for students

Campus Ride Sharing

A MERN ride-sharing platform that helps students offer, request, and coordinate trips across campus.

OpenStreetMap and OSRM power smart route matching, estimated travel times, and alternative routes. I built separate driver and rider dashboards, secure JWT authentication, rate limiting, Helmet, trip request flows, automated seat locking, and a user rating system. The prototype has already been used by 10+ university students.
