I don't just write code.
I architect systems.

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.

Systems Thinking

I design APIs and databases with scale in mind from day one — multi-tenant architecture, schema isolation, query optimization, caching layers.

🔐

Security-First Approach

JWT, OAuth2, RBAC, encryption/decryption, rate limiting, custom middleware — security isn't an afterthought in my code.

🤝

Team Multiplier

Mentoring 6 interns at Syncify, trained Django batches at QuickXpert — I grow the engineers around me as much as myself.

📊

Data-Aware Engineering

From Prometheus/Grafana monitoring to Dash visualizations and AI integrations — I bridge backend engineering with data intelligence.

What colleagues say

"

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.
