the art of making things

I build software & apps.

A solo full-stack engineer. Ideas become web & mobile products — quietly, carefully, fast.

about

One engineer, start to finish.

I'm Pradeep, a solo full-stack engineer. I design, build, and operate production software end-to-end — product decisions, backend, infrastructure, and the security and DevOps work most teams split across a room. If it breaks in production, I'm the one who fixes it.

Independent — Solo Full-Stack Engineer

Ongoing

Freelance, full-stack, end to end — product, backend, DevOps and security. See the Grain case study below for a full breakdown.

selected work

A few things I've built.

Problem

Diagnosed a Supabase Cached-Egress overage to root cause: crawler traffic x image variants x cold caches, with no CDN in front of storage.

Decisions

Remediated across the stack — image thumbnails, next/image tuning, video re-encoding, payload/DTO trimming, DB query consolidation (N count-queries collapsed into one RPC), and a CDN architecture plan. Also built the product's multi-party 'white-label' order flow (a distributor buys on credit; a different end-customer receives it and sees a fully white-labeled tracking page — no brand, no price), GitHub Actions CI/CD coordinating backend + web + web-admin deploys, a native Android APK build with a custom in-app self-updater distributed via Supabase Storage, service-key/RLS and price-integrity security audits, and a 1,600+ test backend suite plus Playwright E2E.

Outcome

A production e-commerce platform running live for real users on a single DigitalOcean droplet — designed, built, and operated solo, with the egress overage remediated and a coordinated multi-app release pipeline in place.
