⟡ About Me

engineer:
  name: "Prathamesh Katre"
  role: "Full Stack Developer & AI Product Engineer"
  based_in: "Hyderabad, India"
  focus:
    - Designing and shipping production-grade full-stack applications
    - Architecting REST APIs with secure authentication & scalable data layers
    - Integrating LLM / Generative AI capabilities into real products
    - Owning infrastructure end-to-end — from VPS deployment to UI polish
  philosophy: "Ship fast, ship clean, ship things people actually use."

I'm a Computer Science graduate and full-stack engineer who builds complete, production-ready web products — not just prototypes. My work spans the entire stack: React/Next.js frontends, Node.js/Express and PostgreSQL backends, AI integrations with Gemini, and self-managed VPS infrastructure running multiple live domains. I care deeply about clean architecture, performance, and shipping software that survives contact with real users.
