AI that works
in the real world.

Hi, I’m Nitin. I build agentic systems, write code that matters, and bring people along for the ride.

I’m currently pursuing my master’s in Artificial Intelligence and Technology at SDSU, building on my B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics minor. Whether it’s architecting self-checking RAG pipelines at Arm, building IoT sensor ML at Airbuild, or teaching 450+ members in our coding community, I care about what happens when deep technical craft meets real humans.

Nitin.

Engineer. Builder. Product thinker. And a spin instructor off-screen.

Nitin Chatlani smiling with his arms crossed

ENGINEER AT THE KEYBOARD.
HUMAN EVERYWHERE ELSE.

I'm currently pursuing my master’s in Artificial Intelligence and Technology at SDSU, building on a B.S. in Computer Science with a Mathematics minor. I'm wired to think like a PM and build like an engineer — I care deeply about why something is built, not just how.

I've shipped patent-pending ML models, submitted research to IEEE/ACM, led a 450-member coding community, and built production software used company-wide — all while TA-ing graduate courses as the only undergrad TA in my department. I thrive at the intersection of user problems, technical craft, and cross-functional leadership.

Off-screen: I'm a certified spin instructor — which means I'm equally comfortable reading a room, setting the pace, and making sure everyone leaves having given everything they've got. 🚴
