Open to Product Engineering roles

Hi, I'm

Prasanna Kumar

Product Engineer · Backend & Generative AI

I build products end to end — turning user problems into production Python services, REST APIs, and AI features that customers actually use.

About

Product Engineer who ships — from user to production.

Portrait of Prasanna Kumar Reddy Peram

Product Engineer who owns features end to end — from talking to users and shaping the roadmap to writing production Python, designing REST APIs, and embedding Generative AI into the product.

3.5+ years shipping software across product, HR-tech, and banking teams, grounded in Object-Oriented design, CI/CD, and SQL performance tuning. I measure success by customer impact over lines of code — making independent design and UX calls, iterating fast on feedback, and rebuilding when the data points to a better solution.
