Nimish Jain

Software Development Engineer II · Luganodes · India

At Luganodes I build the platform behind rpc.luganodes.com: role-based access control, subscription billing, HTTPS + MCP RPC and a log-to-alert observability pipeline. Before that I was the founding frontend engineer at Electron, where I launched permute.finance, a Bitcoin swap app.
My research started at VIT Vellore, where I co-authored four papers (two as first author): a survey of fully homomorphic encryption, and three on cleaning and modelling time-series data.
