Crafting digital products with purpose and precision.
I'm Karthik Nishanth, a software engineer based in Liverpool, UK. I partner with ambitious founders to build resilient software that users love.
My Engineering Philosophy
For over 4 years, I've been deep in the trenches of product development, helping startups and established companies launch over 40 products across web and mobile.
My approach is rooted in **pragmatism**. I don't just write code; I think about the business impact, the long-term maintainability, and the psychological health of the engineers who will work on the system after me.
Whether I'm architecting a complex healthcare platform or polishing the micro-interactions of a consumer app, I bring a level of craft that turns average software into experiences that feel premium and trustworthy.
Core Values
These principles guide every partnership and code review I undertake.
Craftsmanship over Speed
I believe in building software that isn't just functional, but maintainable, scalable, and a joy to use.
Pragmatic Engineering
Choosing the right tool for the job. I prioritize solutions that solve business problems over technical hype.
Radical Transparency
Clear communication, honest trade-off discussions, and consistent updates are the bedrock of my partnerships.
User-First Thinking
Every line of code serves a user. I keep the end-user experience at the forefront of every technical decision.
Technical Depth
I believe in T-shaped expertise. While I'm deeply specialized in the React ecosystem, I maintain strong capabilities across the entire modern stack to provide end-to-end value.
