About Nishant Basu

About Me "I know even less than I knew yesterday, but I’ll figure it out tomorrow." That’s been my approach throughout my journey in tech—always learning, adapting, and unlearning what no longer serves. I'm a master’s in computer science student at Texas A&M, after three years at Dell where I went from intern to Senior Software Engineer faster than I’d ever expected. At Dell, I specialized in full stack development for the global checkout systems on Dell.com, handling everything from CI/CD to the intricacies of Google’s Polymer and LitElement frameworks. As the frontend SME, I enjoyed optimizing user experiences and keeping things running smoothly, even during high-traffic events like Black Friday. I also built microservices, internal npm packages, did a lot of research on web components and micro front end architechture and managed every layer of our deployment and testing pipelines—balancing both stability and new user experiences. In addition to my work at Dell, I freelanced with Curebay, building a logistics platform from the ground up, which serves 1500+ orders everyday. I pushed my skills further by creating a framework-less frontend and making Tailwind CSS work with shadow DOM, a challenge that I relished and learned a ton from. I love taking on new projects, experimenting with new stacks, and refining my approach to find the best solution for each unique problem. I then try forget what I learned to give my brain some room for newer things. I believe in learning fast and unlearning even faster. In the fast-paced tech world, this belief works quite well; I’m the person who gets the job done quickly and effectively. Seeking Internship Opportunities I'm now on the lookout for an internship starting May 2025 where I can bring this spirit of curiosity and resilience to a new team. If you’re looking for someone who’s eager to adapt, explore, and contribute to meaningful projects, I’d love to connect!
