Bio

Nithinn M is a Backend Engineer with several years of experience in distributed systems and high-throughput data pipelines. Nithinn's core stack includes Python, Node.js, FastAPI, Redis, and MongoDB. He builds scalable automation platforms and real-time detection workflows, employing clean architecture and asynchronous task flow. His expertise extends to cloud-native automation, leveraging Docker, AWS, and Kubernetes for robust deployment and management. At Brandsek, Nithinn engineered an agentic scraping framework and migrated legacy systems to Kubernetes, enhancing real-time detection capabilities. He also developed a scalable event trigger automation platform using FastAPI and Celery, supporting high-throughput task execution and reliable event orchestration. Nithinn holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Sri Eshwar College of Engineering. He is well-suited for roles that involve designing scalable backend systems and data-intensive product ecosystems.

Projects

Event Trigger Automation Platform

A scalable automation platform that allows users to create, configure, and execute event triggers through scheduled jobs or API-based invocations. Built with FastAPI, Celery, Redis, MongoDB, and Celery Beat, the system supports high-throughput task execution and reliable event orchestration. Users can define custom execution frequencies, event logic, and trigger conditions, while the platform manages distributed processing, state tracking, and detailed event logs. Designed with clean architecture and asynchronous task flow, it ensures flexibility, performance, and seamless integration with external systems—ideal for automating workflows at scale.

Weather & Renewable Energy Prediction CLI

A powerful command-line tool that delivers real-time weather data, weather forecast, and solar / wind energy output predictions from terminal . Built in Python using the OpenWeatherMap / OpenMeteo APIs, along with energy-forecasting libraries such as PVlib and windpowerlib

IdeaNFT — Decentralized Idea Proof & Ownership Platform

IdeaNFT lets creators register ideas — business ideas, startup plans, inventions, algorithms — as unique, encrypted proofs on the blockchain, without revealing the idea content publicly. When the creator is ready to publish, they can reveal the original idea and cryptographically prove that they owned it from the earlier timestamp. The platform ensures ownership integrity while protecting idea confidentiality until the author chooses to reveal.
