Hi, I'm Nikhil

Introduction

Overview.

I am an MS in Artificial Intelligence student at Northeastern University, currently looking for software engineering and AI/ML internships.

Most of my experience is backend. At Aditya Birla Group I worked on an internal supply chain platform, building transaction processing, REST endpoints, and request queuing in Spring Boot for a system handling 500K+ transactions a month from multiple upstream sources, along with validation and retry handling for the failures that came with that volume. At Lanxess I worked on document ingestion, extending MongoDB models for metadata retrieval and adding Redis caching to cut repeated database reads. I have also built frontend in React and TypeScript, and an Android app in Java with BLE communication to embedded irrigation hardware.

On the AI side, I have built an agentic job application assistant with LangGraph and a RAG pipeline over ChromaDB, and published VersionIO, a Python versioning package. My undergrad thesis applied computer vision to road safety and traffic surveillance, logging offences, and routing reports to the relevant authorities.

Java, Spring Boot, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, React, TypeScript, Docker, AWS. Open to conversations - reach me at shekhawat.n@northeastern.edu

Work Experience.

AB

Nov 2024 – Jul 2025

Software Engineering Intern

Aditya Birla Group · Ujjain, India

• Worked on internal supply chain platform, building transaction processing service with REST endpoints and request queuing in Spring Boot for a system handling 500K+ transactions per month from multiple upstream sources.
• Implemented validation checks and retry handling for failed transactions, improving data integrity under high volume loads.
• Built frontend components in React and TypeScript, using Context API for shared state and reusable components to display transaction data from the backend APIs.
• Wrote unit tests with JUnit covering concurrent transaction handling, tracked coverage with JaCoCo, and tested APIs with Postman against PostgreSQL backed services.
• Documented REST APIs with Swagger/OpenAPI, defining endpoint behavior, specifying request/response schemas and parameters.

Apr 2024 – Sep 2024

Software Developer Intern

Lanxess Pvt Ltd · Nagda, India

• Implemented file type validation in the document processing service, routing rejected files to an Amazon SQS queue.
• Extended MongoDB entity models and repository queries to support document metadata storage and retrieval using Spring Data MongoDB.
• Added Redis caching for frequently requested metadata, reducing repeated database reads under heavy read traffic.
• Updated RESTful endpoints for document ingestion and metadata retrieval, enabling client applications to upload documents and access document information.
• Wrote unit tests using JUnit and Mockito, covering endpoint behavior and errors, and tested APIs with Postman.

AF

Mar 2023 – Sep 2023

Mobile App Development & Embedded Systems Intern

Archi Farming Equipment · Ahmedabad, India

• Built an Android application in Java using the Android SDK for monitoring irrigation equipment, implementing a BLE client to communicate with embedded control modules and retrieve equipment readings.
• Added local caching of readings with Room (SQLite), keeping recent data available when the mobile device temporarily lost BLE connectivity or moved out of range.
• Tested the app against hardware to identify and fix connection drops and data sync issues, with the app used by field operators for equipment monitoring.

SRM

April 2022 – Nov 2022

Undergraduate Research Assistant

SRM University

• Conducted research in underwater sensor networks and AI driven systems.
• Implemented and evaluated deep learning models on real world data.
• Co-authored research contributing to IEEE publications.
