Hey, I’m Pratik 👋

Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 6 years of experience building scalable backend systems, recently handling millions of transactions a day at Razorpay. I work with Node.js, Go, React, MongoDB and AWS — currently at Synechron (Emirates NBD), and previously at Razorpay where I built distributed microservice, handling digital bills.

I’m currently building ApiHealthz.com — an API uptime monitoring and alerting platform with notifications directly to your WhatsApp & Slack.
