Hi, I am Praharsh Jain. I am a software engineer who loves building efficient and robust software, especially backend systems and security-enabled architectures. I’ve led risk analytics, back-end engineering, and agile transformations to help products scale under heavy traffic while keeping data safe and fraud levels low. When I am not coding, I enjoy contributing to open source, mentoring teammates, and exploring new technologies like AI and cloud-native tooling to improve developer productivity.
