Hi, I'm Nishika Agarwal

Where I've worked and what I've learned

Consultant

Turning ambiguity into a plan

Turned an ambiguous brief into a structured market entry strategy, from scoping the problem to building a recommendation the client could actually use.

Software Developer

Oracle

Jul 2023 – Jan 2025

Fixing what slows teams down

Mapped a problem that spanned six teams, redesigned the process into something clean that people would actually follow.

Project Intern

Oracle

Jan – Jul 2023

Spotting problems before they happen

Developed a habit of structured risk thinking, identifying what could fail, why, and what to do about it before it becomes a problem.

Building for people you've never met

Learned to build for users I'd never meet, in contexts I had to research from scratch.

Get to know me

I care about how things are made

Fifteen years of realism drawing taught me that the difference between good and great is almost always in the part you almost skipped. That carries into everything I make, whether it is an artwork, or a strategy solution.

The answer is always no if you don't ask

My dad said this early and it stuck. I have cold-emailed partners, pitched ideas nobody asked for, and walked into rooms I was not invited to. The worst outcome is always the one you already have.

I have always been a bit of a detective

Nancy Drew was my first role model. I was drawn to the part where you sit with a set of clues and slowly make them make sense. That instinct just moved from mystery novels into strategy problems and systems that do not quite work yet.
