Not just a developer.
A systems thinker.

Hey — I'm Prakhar.I'm a Backend & AI Systems Developer based in India, working with international clients across time zones. My work sits at the intersection of scalable backend architecture, AI automation, and data intelligence systems.

I don't just write code — I understand business problemsand architect solutions around them. Whether it's a high-throughput FastAPI backend, a web scraping pipeline that feeds structured data to an LLM, or a multi-database system for complex applications — I think in systems, not tickets.

I've delivered production-grade systems for remote clients, collaborated with PMs and cross-functional teams, written documentation, optimized slow queries, and shipped features that just work.
