Pratik Patil

I’m a backend-focused full-stack engineer who designs and integrates REST APIs, backend services, and SQL-backed data platforms end to end. I’m especially driven by reliability—using structured input validation, strong error handling, and request/response logging to protect data quality and speed up debugging.

In my Python Developer Intern role, I architected and maintained Python backend integrations with third-party REST APIs. I created comprehensive validation and error-handling protocols, and I implemented structured logging to pinpoint cross-service integration issues, while collaborating through Agile workflows and GitHub PR reviews.

Beyond that, I built a backend API platform from scratch (Walmart USA · Forage) to systematically identify and flag defective inventory items, owning the work from requirements through a production-ready solution. I also enjoy turning complex system thinking into clear artifacts—documenting UML diagrams and mapping backend development to database design.

On projects, I’ve shipped a privacy-first desktop AI assistant using React with a Rust/Tauri backend, including secure local data logging and a permission-based modal system. I’ve also developed a CLI trading bot (python-binance) and built responsive, SQL-backed experiences like a travel marketplace with an itinerary-builder flow that reduced booking steps.
