I'm Pranay Panakanti — a Backend Engineer who turns complex requirements into clean, production-grade Java & Spring Boot systems.
I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at GITAM University (GPA: 8.9/10, graduating May 2027). My focus is building scalable backend architectures — from normalized database schemas to containerized microservices deploy them.
As Vice President of AWS Cloud Club at GITAM, I lead 60+ members organizing workshops, hackathons, and certification study groups.
I've shipped production backends serving 20,000+ users and platforms with 95% uptime.
When I'm not engineering systems, I'm solving DSA on LeetCode (415+ problems, Contest Rating 1645) or exploring new AWS services.
Production-grade platform featuring spaced repetition, OTP auth (JWT + HTTP-only refresh tokens), lock-in challenges, and automated daily revision email digests via Brevo API. Dual-profile Spring Boot architecture: API server on AWS EC2 and background worker (5 scheduled jobs) on DigitalOcean. CI/CD auto-deploys both via GitHub Actions on every push to main.
Architected the Spring Boot 3.5 backend: JPA entities, 4 REST endpoints, and a service layer integrating a FastAPI ML microservice via RestTemplate for real-time yield predictions across 50+ crop types. Custom JPQL autocomplete search + top-N recommendation engine ranked by predicted yield and MSP.
Complete backend for the official university club platform. 30+ secure RESTful APIs with JWT auth, RBAC, and admin dashboards. Automated recruitment workflows and email notifications, reducing administrative workload by 70%.
Peer-to-peer farm equipment rental platform for rural India with OTP-based passwordless auth, Haversine-based proximity sorting, instant booking with auto-pricing, ratings & trust scores, and a comprehensive dashboard. 20+ API endpoints with Spring Security JWT and full CRUD.
I'm actively looking for entry-level software engineering roles. Whether it's a role, a collaboration, or just a hello — I'd love to hear from you.
