About me


Niraj Chauhan

Hello and Welcome to my humble blog. I am Niraj Chauhan a software craftsman with over 15 years of experience, currently serving as the Head of Web App Development at Travelopia in Bengaluru, India.

I approach technical problems with a pragmatic mindset, always striving to design solutions that address real business challenges effectively. Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is one of my preferred methodologies, and I frequently apply it whenever suitable to ensure alignment between technology solutions and business domains.

My current journey involves deeply exploring two critical aspects of artificial intelligence: AI Infused, where large language models (LLMs) are integrated into products to enhance user experience, and AI Enabled, where LLMs directly assist in software development tasks such as coding, debugging, and developer productivity. I actively coach my team on best practices, continually refine my own understanding, and promote these innovative processes throughout the company.

I also co-host "The Story Points," a podcast on Spotify dedicated to the intersection of product and technology. Our podcast brings together tech enthusiasts and product experts to discuss the triumphs and challenges of the tech world, now also available as video podcasts.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about Japanese manga and anime—particularly a huge fan of One Piece—and enjoy collecting anime figurines. Gaming on my Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series S and listening to progressive rock bands such as The Pineapple Thief and Lunatic Soul are some of my favorite pastimes.

Family life is essential to who I am. My wife Binisha and our son, Yuvein, fill my days with joy. On weekends, you'll often find us exploring parks, trying out new restaurants, spending quality time together, or catching up with friends.
