Cautio
Software Engineer
July 2025 to Present
Building high throughput backend systems for real time video, IoT data, machine learning validation, and geospatial processing across India's mobility ecosystem.
Nikhil Raj, software development engineer
Currently working as a Software Development Engineer at Cautio, building backend systems that make India's mobility ecosystem safer and more reliable. Since going full time in July 2025, I've focused on designing high throughput, low latency systems for real time data, video pipelines, and geospatial processing.
Over the past two years, I've worked across young startups and healthtech companies, solving backend and distributed systems problems. That includes health data integration, API design, real time streaming, and large scale event processing.
When I'm not building or debugging systems, I'm probably watching a movie or TV series. And yes, Better Call Saul tops Breaking Bad.
