Biography

Nikhil Pujari

Hi I'm Nikhil Pujari

Software Engineer | AI Engineer | New York University (Courant & Stern) - Master's in Information Systems (2025) | University of Mumbai - Bachelor’s of Engineering (2021)

Work Experience

I recently completed my Master’s in Information Systems from New York University. During my studies, I worked as a Software Developer at MetLife (New York City) and Amtrak (Washington, D.C.), where I enhanced user experiences using Angular, Spring Boot, Node.js, AWS, Adobe Experience Manager, Ionic, SQL, and more. In parallel, I developed expertise in large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI agent workflows, applying them to enterprise use cases

Before moving to the U.S., I earned my Bachelor’s in Computer Science from the University of Mumbai and worked at LTIMindtree and Hexaware, building mobile and web applications for national and international clients. These roles gave me practical exposure to the full software development lifecycle.

My key achievements include consistently saving time and money for my employers through process automation and system innovation. I take pride in proactively identifying problems and implementing effective solutions

I've also ventured into cloud computing by earning the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification. Additionally, I hold certifications in Full Stack Development and SEO Optimization.

Throughout undergrad, I completed around 10 internships, gaining hands-on experience across diverse technologies and learning from mentors who shaped my technical and professional growth. I consider the mentors I met during these internships to be pivotal in shaping my professional mindset.

With this wealth of knowledge and a firm belief in continuous self-improvement, I am eager to embrace new challenges that align with my skill set. I am committed to delivering exceptional results and contributing to the success of any project or opportunity that comes my way
