About Me

Hi, I'm Nishant Harkut, a full-stack developer and student at IIIT Gwalior who believes the best technology doesn't just work—it inspires. My journey began with pixels and evolved into production-ready platforms that marry stunning design with robust engineering.

What started as UI/UX victories in college competitions quickly revealed a deeper truth: I didn't just want to design experiences, I wanted to build them. This realization sparked my transition into full-stack development, where my design-first mindset became my secret weapon. In the competitive world of hackathons, this unique perspective helped me secure wins and finals positions across multiple events, ultimately leading to my role as a Full Stack Developer at QuickIntell and Project Admin for W3nity—a Web3 collaboration platform.

My technical foundation spans modern web technologies—React, Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL for core functionality, enhanced with Three.js, GSAP, and WebGL for those jaw-dropping interactive experiences that make users pause and say 'how did they do that?' But beyond the impressive tech stack, I bring something many developers lack: an intuitive understanding of what makes interfaces not just functional, but memorable.

In an era where AI integration is reshaping web applications, security isn't an afterthought—it's foundational. My growing expertise in web application security, grounded in OWASP principles, ensures that every beautiful interface I create is built on rock-solid foundations.

Whether it's implementing robust authentication systems or securing API endpoints, I approach each project with the mindset that great user experiences must never come at the cost of user safety.

When I step away from the screen, you'll find me on basketball courts, at the gym, or experimenting with AI music generation—because creativity shouldn't be confined to code. I'm passionate about giving back to the tech community through open source contributions and mentoring others facing similar challenges.

My goal isn't just to build successful applications or launch a venture in mental health or dental tech—it's to create technology that genuinely improves lives while helping other developers discover their own paths forward.
