Yet another developer with diverse experiences.

Pradeep is as old as the internet but he didn’t have reliable access to the electricity or the internet until he entered IIT Roorkee, the university for his bachelor's degree. This is where he was introduced to the internet and the programming. His interest in programming grew more after his work as a Computer Science Researcher at L3S Research Center (Germany) and Sabanci University (Istanbul). His newfound passion and early successes propelled him into a career as a developer.

Throughout his decade-long career, Pradeep developed dozens of software applications in diverse domains such as dev productivity, privacy, neural search, authentication, NLP, cryptography, data engineering, and web. Pradeep founded two startups, authored a book, and published over 100 technical articles on his #OpenSourceDiscovery newsletter. For more than seven years, Pradeep developed and maintained one of his key project - Developer Diary, a cross-platform productivity tool for developers. This long-term commitment provided him with deep insights into the evolution of various engineering and community functions. Leveraging these insights, he guided various Open Source organizations to create category-leading developer tools and foster thriving, engaged developer communities.

As a late bloomer in tech from a small town, he witnessed how the internet empowered developers from remote areas to transform their lives. This inspired him to found Invide, an invitation-only community for developers from underserved regions. Drawing from his own journey, the initiative helped over 15,000 experienced developers with resources he once lacked.
