Pranav Shegekar

I’m a founding engineer with 3 years of experience at a product startup, where I built and operated backend systems, AWS infrastructure, and an open-source Flutter framework (mEye) from scratch. I’m used to owning the full stack—architecture decisions, production incidents, and shipping to real users.

At Bunderbrains Private Limited, I led incident response for a cryptomining exploit injected via a critical Next.js CVE. I detected it from anomalous CPU utilization, isolated impacted instances within minutes, and restored service the same day using a golden AMI, then migrated from PM2 to Docker to remove the recurring attack surface.

I’ve driven performance and delivery across core product capabilities: I designed PostgreSQL schemas with geo-search and materialized views, built Elasticsearch geo-search for product search, and reduced API response time from 600–700ms to under 90ms. I also led end-to-end technical delivery for a CTO-as-a-Service engagement, owning architecture, execution, and a 3-person engineering team and contributing ~25% of company revenue in FY 2025–26.

I’m comfortable building resilient, scalable systems on AWS—VPC, ALB, ASG, WAF, IAM—and creating clean infrastructure boundaries using tiered architectures and autoscaling. I also build developer-facing products, including an internal rule-based API generation framework on FastAPI and OAuth2.0/SSO integrations (Google, Apple), plus mobile experiences shipped to both Play Store and App Store.
