Engineer by discipline. Builder by obsession. I work on AI-powered systems—agents that reason, adapt, and scale. Hybrid athlete across tennis, golf, soccer, lifting, and running. Music lover. Firm believer that the best products—like the best sets—are engineered to make you feel something.

The person

Tanish Nahata

I'm a software engineer obsessed with building things that feel effortless to use but are surgically precise underneath. My work spans full-stack development—React, Next.js, TypeScript— and an increasingly deep focus on AI agents and agentic workflows. I think about AI not as a feature to bolt on but as a new substrate for building software altogether.

My engineering philosophy borrows from systems thinking: every component has a purpose, every interface a contract. I built HybridFit as a full-stack training tracker with NextAuth, Zod validation, and Vercel-optimised performance, and redesigned ESMON with a cohesive JavaFX design system that replaced visual chaos with hierarchy and intent. Both projects share a conviction: great software is inevitable once the mental model is right.

Outside the terminal I'm a hybrid athlete—half-marathon training, tennis, golf, soccer, lifting. I treat runs the same way I treat hard engineering problems: show up, stay systematic, trust the process. I also spend a worrying amount of time on logic puzzles and electronic music. These aren't hobbies; they're how I stay sharp.

Currently

FedEx Corp

Full Stack Engineer II

Promoted Dec '25
100+ hrs saved

Built production APIs in Java Spring Boot for bulk CSV ingestion, letting 25 European countries pipe data into core logistics systems without manual entry.

60% latency cut

Introduced a Redis caching layer that eliminated static delays and unblocked faster frontend interactions across the network.

AI-first workflow

Currently exploring how IDE AI agents can accelerate the development lifecycle — from documentation to code quality — at enterprise scale.

My Interests

Lifting

Lifting weights. Squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press, etc.

Logic Puzzles

Pattern recognition, constraint solving, systematic play.

AI Agents

Agents that reason, plan, and act—not just generate.

Clean Code

Clarity as a proxy for competence. Signal over noise.

Systems Thinking

Every system is a network of components.

Things I've built.

Each project is a system—designed from first principles, built with precision, and shipped with care about every detail that the user will never notice.
