Nikita Nikitins

Integration Engineer | Azure, .NET, React.js, MSSQL

I'm a software engineer focused on high-load integration systems and advanced SQL workloads. I build Azure-based platforms that handle transactions, CDC, replication, profiling, and scaling. Most of my work sits around MSSQL, .NET, messaging, identity, and operational reliability. I care about clear system design, data integrity, and measurable performance improvements, and I'm growing toward a Solution Architect role.
