Nishit Shah is a Director at Empower. He possess expertise in xml, java, c++, sql, web services and 38 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "When I first got to know Nishit at Financial Engines, we were on different teams. But whenever I had to ask him questions, he was always approachable and eagerly answered them. So my first impressions of him were that he was super easy to talk to, and he was a total team player. I then had the opportunity to join the Auth team that he was on, and I went for it knowing that his personality was perfect for a teammate. That's when I learned that his technical skills were just as impressive. He was excellent with all things AWS, helping stand up a microservice with Cloudformation and creating a serverless infrastructure with Lambda and API Gateway. Not initially having any sort of frontend development experience, he was a still big influence in helping the team build a Login SPA using React in a short amount of time. No matter what problems and complexities you throw at Nishit, he will be supportive and find a way to get it done. He is that awesome teammate that everyone would love to have.", "I had the pleasure of working with Nishit at Financial Engines for 3+ years during the development of Next gen Authentication and Authorization infrastructure. Nishit was the founding member of the Team which started the journey of developing Auth infrastructure from On-Prem to Cloud. During our time together, we were working on standing up core infrastructure software components and launched many products together such as our API Gateway platform, SSO platform, NextGen API Gateway Platform. We got chance to work with many cutting-edge technologies such as Apigee, AWS API Gateway, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda and were able to develop fault-tolerant, stateless and scalable Auth platform which soon became a very critical piece of Financial Engines's Microservices infrastructure. We also developed many reusable solutions, libraries, and best practices and were considered as one of the role model Teams. He was a valuable member of the team during the design and implementation phase and implemented many critical pieces. Also, Nishit single-handedly drove many sso implementations, internal and external auth framework integrations and rollouts. He has been exceptionally good at delighting customers with a good mix of quick resolution/effective communication. He is a very efficient coder and takes great ownership of his work and code and always challenges himself with the latest happenings in the Tech world. He is well versed with Java and Java EE libraries, frameworks, design patterns. Apart from his core skills, he has been exceptional team player. He was always ready to take any task which was blocking the Team and bring it to closure with a great precision. I really liked his dedication, proactiveness and DevOps mindset he brings to the team. It has been a great pleasure to see him grow and become one of the key members of the Team. He will be an asset to every Team he is part of and earns my highest recommendation.", and "Nishit is one of those few engineers who is not just curious and eager to learn about new technologies but also strives to understand the business implications of his work. During design and grooming sessions he is not afraid to challenge assumptions and speak his mind which shows that he cares and wants to make sure we are headed in the right direction. He goes above and beyond his call of duty for the customer even if that means getting up at 5am for a customer call. Nishit played a pivotal role both in development and deployment of our Quick Link product which has now gathered more than $45M in new AUM within a year. In a very short duration Nishit has established himself as someone whose advice is sought by other engineers and someone product managers can trust to get things delivered on time. I look forward to his future contributions at Financial Engines."
