I'm Nitanshu, a systems-focused engineer building:
- Autonomous cloud platforms and self-healing infrastructure
- ML-driven threat detection and anomaly engines
- AI observability agents and multi-agent GenAI pipelines
- Custom Linux operating systems from kernel to bootloader
- Quantum-classical hybrid scheduling systems
I don't build "apps for marks". I build infrastructure that thinks, detects, and heals.
Passenger: Nitanshu Tak
Mission: Artemis II - Lunar Flyby 🌕
Launch Site: Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Vehicle: Space Launch System (SLS) 🚀
Spacecraft: Orion Crew Capsule
Part of a mission pushing human exploration beyond Earth.
