NıkhılTayal.

Senior Full-Stack Developer · Delhi, India

Seven years shipping production web apps across fintech, aviation, edtech and e-commerce. I design end-to-end systems — interfaces, APIs, and everything between — and care a lot about the details nobody notices.

Lately, deep into generative AI — running Dockerized ComfyUI on serverless GPUs, building virtual try-on and image pipelines with custom Python handlers, wiring LLMs into product workflows, and automating real ops with computer vision.

About

Full-stack by trade, systems-minded by instinct. I treat interfaces and infrastructure as one problem, and spend most of my time in the seams.

I've shipped 10+ React applications and REST APIs serving 2M monthly visitors, architected a booking platform handling 500+ reservations a month, and built fintech portals processing over $2M in transactions. Lately I've been obsessed with generative AI — running ComfyUI on serverless GPUs, wiring LLMs into products, and shipping a virtual try-on SaaS to real merchants.
