Hi, I’m Abhay Nikam 👋
I’m an Engineering Lead at AngelList, based in Pune, India, with over a 10+ years of experience building and scaling full-stack web applications. My main stack is Ruby on Rails, React, and GraphQL.
Over the years, I’ve worked across startups and teams of all sizes, learning that great software is rarely about clever code—it’s about clarity, empathy, and iteration.
These days, I work end to end—from designing flows to shipping code, measuring impact, and refining based on feedback. I enjoy small, fast-moving teams where engineers help drive product direction, ship frequently, and stay deeply focused on performance and developer experience.
Open Source
I'm passionate about clean code, developer productivity, and contributing to the open-source community. I'm proud to be listed among the top 100 contributors to the Ruby on Rails framework and actively contribute to several related projects:
Outside of work, I love basketball and I'm a fan of the Golden State Warriors NBA team. I also enjoy travelling and playing outdoor sports like basketball and cricket.
