I design systems — physical and digital — that shape long-term human outcomes. From teaching hospitals in Haiti to no-code AI platforms in Estonia, I work at the intersection of built environment and intelligent automation.
"Meaningful impact comes not from isolated solutions, but from systems that scale intelligently."
— Nikhita Bhagwat
I'm interested in how systems — physical and digital — shape long-term human outcomes. With a master's degree in architecture and certifications including LEED AP, WELL AP, and Fitwel Ambassador, I design buildings focused on performance, health, and climate responsiveness.
My work spans climate-responsive public infrastructure, humanitarian design, and the intersection of design, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.
A healthcare facility combining medical education and practice for 90,000 people, 20 miles from Port-au-Prince. Designed with MyLifeSpeaks NGO — climate-responsive construction with metal roofing, rainwater collection, passive cross-ventilation, and local timber structure.
Charitable project for Lions Club of Erode Midtown — a 12-patient facility for terminally ill elderly, now built. Designed with cross-ventilation corridors, daylight optimization, and operable windows for the tropical climate.
Design consultancy for Indian National Guidelines on Lactation Management Centers. Created a replicable design for human milk banks across secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities under the PATH initiative. Design was incorporated into official national policy.
A rehabilitation center with halfway homes for patients of psychotic disorders — merging residential comfort with medical provision. Destigmatized environment through green spaces, privacy zoning, and community-oriented spatial sequencing.
MAKRR AI (formerly Trashify Tech) is a no-code computer vision platform enabling teams to deploy visual AI across industries — without specialized expertise or hardware dependencies. Evolving from a sustainability-focused startup into a company redefining how organizations build and scale applied AI systems.
The goal: make AI accessible, sustainable, and impactful — empowering industries to move from isolated pilots to scalable, data-driven operations. Bridging physical infrastructure and intelligent automation.
Carnegie Mellon architecture background meets AI product thinking. Human-centered design applied to intelligent systems — a rare and powerful combination in the AI startup space.

Tired of rebuilding and updating spreadsheets every week? A financial model for founders who need answers fast. Update assumptions once and see your P&L, cash runway, unit economics, and valuation update instantly.
As CEO of MAKRR AI, operating across currencies in Tallinn, I kept rebuilding the same financial tools from scratch. The architect in me couldn't stand the inefficiency — so I built them properly once, and shared them with other founders facing the same problem.
Academic dissertation research examining the relationship between architectural space, spatial experience, and psychotic conditions. Explores how built environments can be designed to support mental health recovery and destigmatize care.
Editorial work conducted at Point Line Projects, Pittsburgh. Part of the Now What?! national exhibition on activism in American Architecture. Interviews with renowned architects for website publications.
Academic thesis at Carnegie Mellon University. Live project: masterplan for L'Hôpital Universitaire de MyLifeSpeaks in Neply, Haiti — healthcare and medical education for 90,000 people.
Research project examining architectural and construction approaches to improve conditions in correctional facilities — how spatial design affects rehabilitation outcomes and human dignity.
Available for architecture consulting, speaking engagements, and conversations about AI × design × sustainability.
