# Pradnyal Gandhi > Software Engineer @ Shelfmark Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/pradnyal Hi, I’m Pradnyal — a product-focused Software Engineer with experience building and scaling real-world platforms across manufacturing, quality control, inventory and asset tracking, and fintech. Over the past 2+ years, I’ve worked on end-to-end product development — designing user-facing experiences, building backend pipelines, and taking systems from early concept to reliable production use. I enjoy solving problems where performance, reliability, and product impact matter just as much as clean code. My technical background spans JavaScript, TypeScript and Python, with hands-on experience building modern web applications, real-time systems, and cloud-native services. I’ve worked closely with teams to translate product requirements into scalable technical solutions, while continuously improving system performance, observability, and deployment workflows. Outside of engineering, I enjoy photography, playing soccer, and exploring music — a passion I’ve pursued for over 16 years. Always open to conversations around building meaningful products and solving complex engineering problems. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Shelfmark Jan 2023 – Present | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States •Collaborated on 2 consumer-facing products for a startup, to solve inventory management, asset tracking and quality control problems by deploying features using TypeScript, Postgres, NextJS, and Azure • Integrated geo-spatial map libraries to build location-based features, interactive charts, and statistical dashboards in Next JS • Engineered backend migrations on Postgres SQL, Node and Azure, while building robust testing suites in Cypress and Playwright to reduce errors and streamline the CI/CD pipeline • Demonstrated ownership and innovation by actively participating in sprints, code & design reviews, leading to successful releases of major product enhancements ### Graduate Teaching Assistant @ Northeastern University Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States • Mentored a class of 70+ students in iOS, and Agile development providing valuable insights on best practices of Software Engineering, fostering collaboration and teamwork, and offering personalized support to students with Swift, iOS and Agile principles • Conducted tutoring sessions with students, crafted assignments in Swift and Swift UI to ensure understanding of topics including but not limited to frontend architecture, UX guidelines, API calls, databases and Agile principles of sprint planning, Scrum and backlogs ### Event Associate @ Northeastern University Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States ### UI Developer @ Copart Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Dallas, Texas, United States • Modernized company portals to load vehicle data, added search features, and replaced outdated class-based code with modern JavaScript features in React and Angular.
