About

I'm Tushar Nikam, a software engineer. I started in 2019 building Flutter apps in my college years, got my first job as a mobile engineer and have been building mobile products ever since, payments, gaming and multi-platform apps used by millions. Most of my work has been mobile, and a good amount of it has been in the open.
