Devansh Nigam

Software Engineer

I build reliable cross-platform systems, developer tools, and practical AI products.

Software Engineer, three years at Monotype. I build the core of a cross-platform desktop app for designers: an Actor Model concurrency layer, a gRPC bridge between .NET and Vue, and offline font sync, shipped to macOS and Windows on Electron.

On the side I ship small tools: error-replay replays what a user did before a crash, a Chrome extension finds coupons in Gmail with on-device OCR, and a FastAPI service returns LinkedIn profiles as JSON. I also contribute to Corsair (YC W25).

Offline: Himalayan treks, chess, and books.
