Nikhil User

I’m a computer science engineering student focused on building real-world software—especially where accessibility and intelligent features matter. I combine full-stack development with computer vision and machine learning to deliver fast, reliable user experiences.

In my Sahayak project, I engineered a full-stack accessibility SPA and reduced page load times by 35%, while also building a performant Django RESTful API. I integrated TensorFlow/OpenCV for real-time ASL-to-text translation, achieving 90% accuracy.

I also dive into advanced systems and impactful solutions. With Drishti OS, I’m architecting a microkernel-based OS that uses native computer vision for gesture navigation and facial authentication; with RelivAid, I built a social impact platform in a 24-hour hackathon featuring CV-powered mask detection and a job portal.

Beyond projects, I’ve led technical initiatives as a Core Member in SDC Club and Omdena Club, and supported Android development through an ex-core role. My work has been recognized with a Government of India patent for an in-display fingerprint mouse design and multiple national competition awards, fueling my drive to ship meaningful technology.
