Python · Django · Data Engineering
I build the invisible infrastructure that powers products — scalable REST APIs, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, AI-integrated backends, and real-time data systems. Based in Mumbai, working globally.
02 / About
I'm a Backend & Full Stack Developer with 2+ years of professional experience building production-grade systems in Python, Django, FastAPI, and MySQL/PostgreSQL. I've shipped real products — from a live stock-market intelligence platform to a multi-tenant SaaS document management system for ICICI Securities.
My work sits at the intersection of clean backend architecture and measurable business impact. I care deeply about API design, database performance, system security, and the developer experience of the teams I work with.
Currently leveling up in Data Engineering — PySpark, AWS Glue, data pipelines, and distributed systems — to bridge the gap between backend engineering and large-scale analytics.
I design APIs and databases with scale in mind from day one — multi-tenant architecture, schema isolation, query optimization, caching layers.
JWT, OAuth2, RBAC, encryption/decryption, rate limiting, custom middleware — security isn't an afterthought in my code.
Mentoring 6 interns at Syncify, trained Django batches at QuickXpert — I grow the engineers around me as much as myself.
From Prometheus/Grafana monitoring to Dash visualizations and AI integrations — I bridge backend engineering with data intelligence.

High-performance async FastAPI backend for corporate investor relationship management. Async DB operations, meeting tracking with discussion docs, and investor engagement analytics.
06 / Achievements
07 / Testimonials
Pratik consistently delivered backend systems that were clean, well-structured, and ready to scale. His ability to own complex features end-to-end — from DB design to API security — made him a genuine asset to our engineering team at MobiTrail.
As a Django trainer, Pratik had an exceptional ability to break down complex concepts and make them accessible. His students shipped real projects, not just exercises. That's rare in a trainer.
