Pranav Totla — CTO
I’m the Engineering Lead at Snaptrude, a cloud-native 3D design platform for architects and interior designers. I lead the tech side of the product—owning architecture, core services, and release cadence—while staying hands-on. We started as a three-person team and built the product from the ground up; along the way I’ve grown the team and mentored emerging leaders. I work extensively on math/geometry (3D vectors, linear algebra), image processing, and practical machine learning. I contribute across the stack—Python/Django and Node.js microservices on the backend; TypeScript/React on the frontend; WebGL with Babylon.js for rendering—plus LLM/agent workflows (RAG, evaluations) that improve debugging, QA signal, and developer velocity. I’ve always believed language/framework is never a barrier. Recently, I’ve been building production-grade AI agents and workflows. The Snaptrude Agent takes a plain-English brief and produces a concept massing in ~10 minutes by pairing LLM reasoning with geometry-aware tool use and an orchestrated chain of deterministic tools: program synthesis, zoning/standards checks, and geometry operations (WebGL/BabylonJS). Under the hood it uses retrieval to ground site/program constraints, JSON-structured plans for tool calling, and automatic evaluations/guardrails to track quality and drift—so outputs are fast, consistent, and reviewable by architects. Net effect: early-stage iteration cycles compress from weeks to minutes while keeping architects firmly in the loop. I’m truly passionate about my work and always eager to connect with other builders. My favorite stage of any project is clarifying the user’s problem (feature, workflow, or bug) and designing lean, reliable architecture and algorithms—then shipping predictably. I completed my Bachelor’s (B.E.) in Electronics and Communication Engineering from BVB College of Engineering and Technology. I’m always interested in hearing from former colleagues, managers, alums, or curious, creative folks. If you’d like to connect, reach me at pranav@totla.tech or DM me on LinkedIn.
