Hi, I'm Pranesh,
Full-Stack & DevOps Engineer.
I build software that people genuinely enjoy using — web platforms, infrastructure automation, applied AI, and immersive interfaces.
About me
I'm a full-stack engineer focused on practical products with strong fundamentals. My work spans web development, applied AI, immersive applications, and systems-level engineering.
I build with React, Next.js, Python, Node.js, and cloud tooling, while also using C, C++, Rust, and Unity when the work calls for performance, simulation, or interactive systems.
What keeps me going is simple: software that works well, is a pleasure to use, and stands the test of time. I'm deepening my work in DevOps, security, and privacy-first design while continuing to ship useful software today.

Full-Stack & DevOps Engineer
- ▹Developed and maintained full-stack web platforms end-to-end (TypeScript, Vue.js with Composition API, Node.js/Express, MongoDB/PostgreSQL/Redis), redesigning backend services and NoSQL/SQL schemas, cutting query latency ~40%.
- ▹Built Python/FastAPI real-time network security monitoring with 8+ microservices, WebSocket pipelines, Redis caching, and SQL storage, achieving <200ms alert latency
- ▹Designed GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Ansible workflows cutting deployment time ~60%; applied IaC principles to configuration management
- ▹Implemented JWT auth, RBAC/ABAC access control, and LDAP integration across service boundaries; wrote automated test scripts integrated into CI/CD
- ▹Architected and operated microservice infrastructure on Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, sustaining 99.5%+ uptime in production with full monitoring and incident-response ownership
- ▹Delivered 95%+ sprint completion rate driving features independently in an agile, cross-functional team

What I'm up to now
Building Enclave
An open-source, local-first, zero-knowledge knowledge base — desktop + Android, authenticated encrypted P2P sync, and offline RAG. My main side project.
Shipping open-source tools
Released Nexus, a full-stack AI RAG workspace, and Sentinel, a dependency-free change-monitoring CLI — both with CI/CD, docs, and security policies.
Just finished my M.Sc.
Human-Computer Interaction at University of Siegen (April 2026), with a published thesis on AI-assisted web development.
Open to opportunities
Full-stack, DevOps, and applied-AI roles — happy to chat about how I can help your team.
Selected projects
A cross-section of systems, platforms, and research-backed experiences that balance technical depth with clarity and usability.
FeaturedEnclave
May 2026 - PresentAn offline-first, zero-knowledge knowledge base for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. Notes are encrypted with SQLCipher at rest and sync device-to-device over authenticated, AEAD-encrypted WebSocket channels — no cloud, no servers. An opt-in RAG assistant answers questions across your vault with in-database vector search and fully offline embeddings.

FeaturedNexus
Aug 2026 - PresentA self-hosted AI RAG workspace. Upload PDF, TXT, Markdown, CSV, and JSON documents into isolated workspaces; a BullMQ worker queue chunks and embeds them asynchronously, then chat with your documents over a streaming WebSocket — grounded answers with cited sources from hybrid pgvector + full-text search.

Sentinel
Aug 2026 - PresentA dependency-free Python CLI that watches GitHub repositories, websites, APIs, and PyPI/npm packages — and explains exactly what changed, not just that it changed. Durable SQLite history, watch mode, uptime statistics, and a safety-first updater that verifies checksums and audits every update.

CryptLearn
Sept 2025 - April 2026An AI-assisted cryptography e-learning platform. Production-grade REST API with JWT access/refresh rotation in HttpOnly cookies, hashed refresh-token storage, and three-tier RBAC. The React frontend ships live Caesar, Base64, SHA, and RSA (WebCrypto) tools plus points, streaks, and badge analytics.
