Hi, I'm Pranav πŸ‘‹

Systems Programmer | Fullstack Architect | IC at Heart

I build software from the metal to the market. My work ranges from auditing binary layouts in the Linux kernel to architecting high-performance fullstack engines that drive real-world ROI for non-tech businesses.


πŸš€ Current Missions

  • Low-Level Rust: Modernizing foundational system crates (libc) for the 1.0 milestone. Focused on Binary Accuracy, struct normalization, and ABI stability across all Tier targets.
  • Next-Gen Tooling: Contributing to the rattler engine to implement Zero-Copy VFS for near-instant package management.
  • FinTech & DeFi: Deep-diving into the Solana ecosystem and DeFi protocols. I am fascinated by the intersection of high-frequency trading and high-performance Rust.

πŸ—οΈ The Startup Journey (Fullstack & Impact)

I don’t just write code; I build digital footprints.

  • Grassroots E-Commerce: Designed and deployed a custom e-commerce and few end-to-end web application for non-tech local businesses.
  • Impact: Translated complex tech into measurable ROI, helping traditional businesses establish their first digital presence.
  • Tech Stack: Nextjs 15/16+, React 18/19, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud Platform, and PayloadCMS.

πŸ› οΈ Engineering Principles

My approach to code is defined by three pillars:

  • Robustness via Testing: I believe a feature isn't finished until the unit tests and integration suites prove it can't break.
  • Algorithmic Rigor (DSA): Whether it's dependency resolution in a package manager or optimizing a DeFi trade, I lean on strong Data Structures and Algorithms for efficiency.
  • Functional Paradigm: I leverage Functional Programming patterns in both Rust and JS/TS to ensure code is predictable, testable, and free of side effects.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» The "Pragmatic IC" Manifesto

  • Code First, Management Second: I am an IC by choice. I love solving the hard technical bottlenecks that others avoid.
  • Leadership by Necessity: I step into management only when a project needs a navigator who understands the code. I lead from the trenches, not the boardroom.
  • Systems Thinking: Whether it's a Rust struct or a DeFi trade, I look for the underlying logic and the most efficient path.

πŸ“Š Tech Snapshot

  • Systems: Rust (Safe & Unsafe, FFI), C, Linux Kernel Headers, Docker, Binary Relocation.
  • Web: Nextjs 15/16+, React 18/19, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud Platform, and PayloadCMS.
  • Interests: Solana/DeFi, Algorithmic Trading, Open Source Sustainability.
