Hello, I'm Nihar. Welcome to my website! I'm interested in solving complex problems arising in applications that have global reach. I’ve been a builder and tinkerer since building my first PC at age 9.
I’m currently looking for my next adventure! a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at a cybersecurity scaleup. I work at the intersection of Operations, R&D, and SWE so my work involves everything from arm-twisting !Dominant Cloud Provider! into launching new (previously unavailable) Redis instances overnight to debugging unknown edge cases in production code. Working at a startup I've learnt to move fast while NOT breaking things(and quickly fixing things I do end up breaking!), and have worn various hats such as SWE, SRE, Cloud Security Engineer etc as the business evolved.
I'm a Jan 2021 Computer Engineering graduate from the College of Engineering, Boston University.
My current areas of interest include Distributed Computing and Infrastructure engineering. Past interests have included React, GraphQL, etc amongst other web technologies.
In the past, I’ve been a , more info can be found on my [resume]({{ site.baseurl }}/nihar_dwivedi_resume.pdf).
You can find a few of the projects I've built on my Github.
I strum the guitar whilst humming tunes for fun. If I’m unreachable I’m doing one of three things- browsing Hacker News, watching anime, or playing a video game. I’m also an ardent fan of science fiction and software engineering books, and I’m currently reading Designing Data Intensive Applications. Red Rising, Dark Matter, The Broken Earth series, Three Body Problem
My dream job would be a fun mix of distributed systems/Infrastructure and product engineering. If this sounds like a role you're hiring for, feel free to reach out!
