About

Software Development Engineer at Meesho, building large-scale backend systems that power affiliate commerce. My work revolves around designing low-latency distributed systems, event-driven architectures, scalable APIs, data pipelines, observability.. I enjoy solving engineering problems where performance, reliability, and scalability matter. I primarily work with Java, Spring Boot, MySQL, Redis, Kafka and cloud-native technologies, while also building full-stack applications using React and Next.js. I'm particularly interested in system design, distributed systems, backend architecture, and developer productivity. Beyond product development, I enjoy leveraging AI to improve engineering workflows.. from automating operational tasks and generating observability insights to building developer tools that reduce manual effort. Before Meesho, I externed at AlgoUniversity (backed by Y Combinator), where I built an end-to-end online coding platform featuring secure code execution for four major programming languages, automated testcase evaluation, concurrency-controlled submissions, real-time leaderboards, and an AI-powered coding assistant. I also worked on a patented research project in formal verification and multi-agent systems during my undergraduate studies at NIT Calicut. Outside work, you'll usually find me learning about distributed systems, databases, cloud infrastructure, open-source technologies, and the latest advancements in AI. Or occasionally finding bugs on X (formerly Twitter). If that's your thing too, hit me up @pranavprashantt :) Always happy to connect with engineers, builders, and people who enjoy solving challenging problems.
