Hi, I'm Pranesh,
I turn ideas into products people enjoy using.

Remote

• ▹Built Nexus, a full-stack AI platform (React 18, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, tRPC, Drizzle ORM) using OpenAI, LangChain, and PostgreSQL 16 pgvector for streaming, citation-grounded hybrid search.
• ▹Engineered an idempotent Redis and BullMQ asynchronous indexing pipeline for chunking, embeddings, and per-answer token accounting, sustaining sub-second retrieval across ~100k chunks per workspace.
• ▹Architected Enclave, a local-first, zero-knowledge knowledge base in Rust (Tauri v2 and a shared Rust core) with SQLCipher encryption, Argon2id/BIP39 keys, mDNS-discovered peer-to-peer sync and an offline RAG assistant, now moving to dedicated native apps.
• ▹Built a zero-cloud RAG pipeline using local LLM inference, in-process ONNX embeddings, and sqlite-vec semantic search inside an encrypted store.
• ▹Designed and built Weft, an agent-native design canvas in TypeScript, React and Yjs that stores designs as plain-text files and reconciles edits from human designers and coding agents in the same document, delivered as a browser editor, CLI, MCP server and live bridge.
• ▹Enforced CI/CD pipelines with static typechecking, Playwright E2E tests, CodeQL analysis, and secret scanning, alongside provider-agnostic LLM tool calling and MCP integrations.

University of Siegen (ZIMT), Siegen, Germany

• ▹Built and operated a Python and FastAPI ingestion and TCP/UDP network anomaly-detection platform spanning 8+ distributed microservices (Celery, Redis, SQL), sustaining sub-200ms alert latency in production.
• ▹Integrated three backend services into one MEVN application (MongoDB, Express, Vue.js, Node.js) with custom middleware, a backend instance switcher, event-based logging and a unified Vue.js dashboard.
• ▹Reduced database and query latency by approximately 40% by redesigning SQL/NoSQL schemas and optimizing indexes across PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis.
• ▹Cut deployment time by up to 60% by automating provisioning and CI/CD with Ansible, GitLab CI/CD, Docker and automated testing on Linux.
• ▹Upgraded production Node.js runtimes to v22/v24 and hardened service authentication with JWT, RBAC/ABAC and LDAP integration.
• ▹Operated containerized production workloads with Docker and Kubernetes on Linux, maintaining 99.5%+ uptime through monitoring, observability and incident response; working knowledge of OpenShift.
