Some people consume technology. I prefer building it. | Full-Stack Engineer • Systems Builder • AI Explorer | 📍 Mangalore ↔ India

Exploring the edge of AI, engineering, and what's possible when both work together. Currently focused on creating intelligent software that automates workflows, solves real-world problems, and scales efficiently. Seeking opportunities to build impactful products with world class engineering teams.

• Surfing waves that haven't broken yet — agentic engineering isn't the next trend. It's already the terrain. Most people just haven't looked down yet.

Blog coming soon at nishalpoojary.dev Currently writing about: AI systems, system design & building in public.

• Government-Backed Builder — Research project selected & funded by the Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST), not everyone who applies gets a yes
• 2 Years. One Website. Real Impact. — Core team behind Sentia, our college's flagship platform, maintained and evolved over two years, the kind of project that outlives the people who built it
• 450+ on the waitlist before the product existed — UdaarClear hit 450+ pre-waitlist signups on zero marketing budget, just word of mouth and a problem worth solving
• Went viral on LinkedIn — A system design breakdown of IRCTC one of India's most complex platforms that engineers actually stopped scrolling for. Thousands of impressions, zero paid promotion. Just thinking out loud at the right depth. See the post →

The internet has a lot of noise. These aren't that.

System Design

• System Design Primer — The only repo with 200k+ stars for a reason. Start here, stay here.
• ByteByteGo Newsletter — Alex Xu explains complex systems like you're smart enough to get it
• High Scalability Blog — How real companies solved problems at real scale

AI & The New Way of Building

• Andrej Karpathy on YouTube — If you want to actually understand AI, not just use it
• Latent Space Podcast — Where the AI engineers actually talk to each other
• Simon Willison's Weblog — The most honest writing about what AI can and can't do

Engineering at Depth

• The Pragmatic Engineer — The newsletter senior engineers forward to their teams
• Engineering Blogs — How Uber, Netflix, Notion actually build things
• Martin Fowler's Blog — The man who named half the patterns you already use

For When You Need Perspective

• Paul Graham Essays — Written for founders but every builder should read them
• Fireship on YouTube — 100 seconds to understand anything in tech
• IRCTC System Design — my viral post — Shameless plug. But people said it helped.

Things I'm willing to be wrong about in public , timestamped June 2026

• By 2027, "writing code" will be a secondary skill. Architecting systems for AI to execute will be the primary one.
• The next unicorn from India will be built by a team of 3, not 300.
• UdaarClear will be the thing people point to when they say "this changed how I think about the problem."
• The engineers who learn to direct AI today will be untouchable in 5 years. The ones who don't will be expensive.

Check back in 2027. I'll own every miss.

"I don't build to prove I can. I build because the gap between what exists and what should exist is too obvious to ignore."

Every project is an argument I'm making to the world the product is just how I phrase it — I think at the system level, execute at speed, and ship before I'm ready, because waiting for ready is just fear with better posture.

Currently obsessed with the exact moment AI and engineering stop being two separate conversations.
