I’m Prathamesh — a nerdy guy brought up in Pune. I work as a Software Engineer, and Frappe is currently my third full-time job in about 3.5 years. Before this, I worked at The Commit Company, up until the acquisition.

Most days are fairly simple: showing up to work, solving problems, debugging things that don’t work the first time, working out at the gym, trying to do a little better than yesterday - and unwinding with some casual PS5 gaming.

I believe good things compound quietly, and that most meaningful progress happens when no one is watching. That belief shapes how I approach engineering - and honestly, most things in life. I’m also slightly delulu - delusional enough to believe that if I keep showing up and doing the work, things will eventually work out in my favour.

I write because it helps me make sense of my overthinking brain. I write about work, ambition, loneliness, discipline, starting over, and the gap between who I am and who I want to become. Writing helps me slow down, reflect, and notice patterns I’d otherwise ignore. It’s not content - it’s how I stay honest with myself.

I don’t have a fixed definition of success. Right now, it looks like consistency, high-quality work with the right intent, learning continuously, building things that last, and becoming someone my younger self wouldn’t be disappointed in.

Still learning. Still figuring things out. One day at a time.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing on the PlayStation - swinging through New York City as Spider-Man hits different - and I occasionally watch shows, movies, and anime.
