Nikita is a scalable vector existence…

which may be described as somewhat of a material world version of SVGs: adaptable and accurate. She came up with this original tagline after making incredible amounts of original SVG designs.

Today, you will find her as a software engineer, but her journey in tech began as a mechanical engineer at IIT Roorkee. Nikita gained experience in open-source and design by working as the Outreachy 2022 summer intern with the Fedora Project and later as a consultant with Software Freedom Conservancy. She has brushed upon the field of FinTech in the past as a part of J.P. Morgan Chase Quant Research Mentee and became the top team from India in WorldQuant Alphathon 2022. She had interned at Cisco, India as a Technical intern in the summer of 2023 and continued with them as a full time software engineer for the IoT team.

Her creative spirit lies with her art and music. She plays the Sitar, Flute or keys sometimes and also likes to work with all forms of art from sketching to sculpting; from digital to physical. Being an INTJ, she is a detail-oriented person and likes to organize & plan her tasks out. She has been described as ‘Monica’ more often than not, even though she has never watched the show ‘FRIENDS’. Her drive lies in exploring new fields and picking up new skills.
