Hello, I’m Nitesh.

I make software. Then I go outside.

I’m a software engineer near Denver. The rest of this page is what happens on weekends.

Away from the desk.

Most of my time off goes to the mountains. I snowboard in winter and hike the rest of the year, usually with my kid in tow. The 4 a.m. alarms are a hard sell for everyone but me.

Field notes

A few photos from farther afield.

03—05

Japan & Nepal

Kyoto in the rain, Fuji in cherry-blossom season, and Swayambhunath in Kathmandu. I went to college in Nepal, so that last one feels less like travel than the first two.

Mount Fuji framed by cherry blossoms across a calm lake — 04 Fuji, framed in bloom

A golden Buddhist stupa in Nepal beneath lines of prayer flags — 05 Swayambhunath, Kathmandu

06—08

Colorado

Winter Park during a snowstorm, Crested Butte in the fall, and the northern lights over Broomfield. The aurora photo was taken near home, not on a trip north.

A large tree silhouetted against pink and green northern lights — 08 Broomfield, CO

09—10

High country

Paddleboarding on Lake Jackson and a trip into The Enchantments. Neither photo does the water justice.

By trade

I build software.

I’ve been building software since 2014, mostly in healthcare, ad tech, and ecommerce. These days that means frontend architecture, product delivery, and tech-lead work. The résumé has the specifics.
