Now — Nitin Panwar

What I'm focused on right now. Updated periodically.

Work

Working at Ampd Energy, building software for clean energy systems. Day-to-day involves full-stack product work, system design, and keeping things running at scale.

Building

Shipping dicta, an on-device voice-to-text app for macOS. Focused on accuracy, privacy, and zero latency. Trying to make local AI transcription actually usable.

Learning

  • Go and low-level programming — understanding what happens closer to the metal.
  • Picking up Rust for systems-level side projects.
  • Exploring AI agents and LLM applications with LangChain and LangGraph.

Interested in

  • Operating systems and networking.
  • AI and its applications in developer tooling.
  • System design, infrastructure, and engineering at scale.
  • Developer tools that stay out of the way.

Life

Outside of work, I spend most of my time chasing footballs and trying to run as much as I can — been playing and staying active since I was a kid and it's the one thing that never gets old. I love travelling to places I've never been, especially anywhere with mountains — something about being up there just clears everything out. When I'm home, I'm probably deep into a game I'll never finish, watching a movie, or just sitting with a good cup of chai doing absolutely nothing.

Personal goal is to one day find work-life balance with the same grace Bruce Lee finds ping pong balls with a pair of nunchucks.
