About Me

Hi, I’m Niku Singh—a passionate Software Engineer who thrives on building impactful products, learning new technologies, and feeding my curiosity. I love contributing to open-source projects and enjoy participating in hackathons, where I get to collaborate with talented people and solve real-world problems.

When I’m not coding, you’ll find me reading books, exploring the latest in tech, or watching football. I’m always eager to discuss software, startups, geopolitics, space, and science. My free time is often spent tinkering with new frameworks, writing technical blogs, or mentoring fellow developers in the open-source community.
