Hello!!, I'm Prakash
I am a passionate and results-driven Software Engineer with 3+ years of industry experience and a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of New Haven. Currently contributing to innovation in medical device manufacturing at Ivy Biomedical Systems, I specialize in designing and developing scalable full-stack solutions using Java, .NET Core, Python, and Angular.
My career spans impactful roles from modernizing legacy insurance systems at HCL Technologies to automating complex hardware testing workflows in the biomedical space. I bring hands-on expertise across diverse tech stacks, including Spring Boot, Django, ASP.NET Core, AWS, SQL, and modern DevOps pipelines.
Whether it’s building data-driven web apps, optimizing backend performance, or automating high-voltage testing systems, I consistently deliver value by streamlining processes and enhancing user experience. With a strong foundation in software engineering principles, system design, and cloud technologies, I thrive on solving real-world problems through clean, efficient, and innovative code.
