01 About

Product-minded engineering, backend to pixel.

Aleksei Nikolskii

I thrive in autonomous, product-focused teams where engineering velocity matches long-term architecture health.

My approach couples robust backend performance with responsive, accessible user experiences. On the backend I design Go microservices with gRPC, Redis caching and tuned Postgres; on the frontend I ship clean Next.js App Router interfaces with a sharp eye for state, structure and reuse.

Beyond client work I build in the open — I'm the creator of shadcn-chat, a React component library that streamlines chat-interface development inside the shadcn/ui ecosystem.
