About

With over 14 years of engineering experience—including 4+ years in leadership roles—I’ve had the opportunity to work across the spectrum: from nimble startups to large enterprises, and even as a consultant for well-known tech startups. These diverse experiences have shaped my approach to leadership, technical problem-solving, and building high-impact teams. I’ve led engineering efforts to build distributed systems, full-stack applications, and scalable platforms—always with a strong focus on aligning technical excellence with business outcomes. My leadership style is grounded in a strategic mindset and hands-on execution, with a deep passion for mentoring and inspiring high-performing teams. Golang is my language of choice, and I find joy in expressing ideas through code. I write a lot of throwaway code every day—enough to feel like I’ve learned everything and nothing at the same time. I learn best by building, experimenting, and reflecting—less so by reading alone. I’m particularly passionate about distributed systems, networks, cloud-native applications, and Kubernetes. Whether it’s optimizing systems, simplifying complexity, or designing for scale, I love solving hard problems and learning along the way. In my free time, I'm building Hydra (https://github.com/pragyandas/hydra), an actor framework for Go built on NATS. Please feel free to try it, and open a PR if you think something is missing or can be done better.
