Pratik enjoys creating things — be it intuitive software or intricate art projects. By day, he's a Product Engineer at Seclore , where he's spent the past three years building everything from Android apps to robust Java backend systems. He also leads R&D efforts and architects solutions to complex engineering challenges. Before that, he worked as a Data Engineer at Standard Chartered, wrangling data pipelines and figuring out how to make things just a little more efficient. In his free time, he's usually experimenting with self-hosted setups, or elbows-deep in a craft project involving paper, paint, or pixels.
Talking about himself in the third person makes him feel like he's writing a bio for a movie he hasn't starred in (yet?).
He graduated from SRMIST, Chennai in Jul, 2021 (He feels so old now). While at college, he was part of Next Tech Lab — a playground for AI and ML enthusiasts, where he dabbled in all things intelligent and automated, and occasionally broke things in the name of learning.
TL;DR: Pratik loves building meaningful things — digital or otherwise — that are equal parts elegant and practical.
He dreams of owning a cozy studio filled with servers, sketchbooks, and maybe one day… a dog (pending approval from higher powers at home).
