Hey, I'm Nishant 👋

ML Engineer by day, tool-builder by night.

10+ years shipping production ML systems — transformers, XGBoost, end-to-end pipelines — across finance, healthcare, and e-commerce. I've led teams, built training infrastructure, and built models that have affected millions of lives (via the product).

Outside work, I build tools that solve my own problems — browser extensions, macOS apps, and whatever else scratches an itch.

What I do professionally

  • Building End-to-end ML pipelines
  • Transformer & attention-based models
  • Dive deep into XGBoost
  • Model explainability with SHAP at scale

What I build for fun

  • Snip [WIP] — Chrome extension to clip podcast moments from YouTube and share as native video on X
  • ScripCanvas - Project Link; An infinite canvas for writing, drawing, and coding.
  • Calendar sync tools — Unified availability across work and personal calendars
  • Shortcut Chrome ExtProject Link; Chrome extension that lets you navigate to your favorite websites using quick keyboard shortcuts.

How I build

I like starting simple: web prototypes, browser extensions, and native apps when they're the right fit. SwiftUI for Mac, vanilla JS when that's enough. Same philosophy at work — ship something that works, iterate fast.
