Software Engineer at Bentley Systems building the platform other engineers build on.
Last year I shipped:
• An NLP-to-SQL agent letting teams query databases in plain English (adopted across multiple internal teams)
• A gRPC client that builds structural models in real time over bidirectional streaming
• A micro-frontend layer powering Bentley's unified platform across all product lines
Impact: cut API response times 60% via batch query optimization; reduced 3D model analysis time 85% with an automated benchmarking pipeline.
Won Bentley's company-wide Architecture Kata for an event-driven microservices design handling real-time trip consolidation across heterogeneous data sources; recognized by CTO Julien Moutte.
I write engineering deep dives on systems worth understanding, from Chrome's TPM-backed Device Bound Session Credentials to how AWS S3 achieves planet-scale durability via erasure coding. Explaining systems is how I get better at building them.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Pranjal and can confidently say that he is the kind of engineer you want in your core technical initiatives. Pranjal has a rare combination of architectural vision and the grit to solve complex, systemic bugs. He recently took the initiative to propose and design an event-driven architecture that replaced a legacy cron polling. His sharp system design skills were further proven when he anchored our team to a runner-up finish in the company-wide Architecture Kata, designing a highly resilient, distributed trip-aggregation platform on Azure. Beyond high-level architecture,
Waqar Ahmed, Director Software Development at Bentley Systems
I had the pleasure of working with Pranjal during a 6-month rotation, where he consistently impressed me with his technical ability and professional attitude. He took on some very challenging prototypes, including a visualization project and the development of a reusable node package.
What stood out to me was his ability to think independently and approach problems with unique, well-crafted solutions.
He is certainly a talented young developer with strong problem-solving skills and an excellent attitude. I have no doubt he will continue to achieve great things in his career.

It is with much pleasure that I take this opportunity to write a personal recommendation for Pranjal who has worked as a Full Stack Developer Intern under my guidance. He carries the assigned duties with due diligence and enthusiasm thus giving out the very best. I, therefore, recommend him and appreciate the hard work. To my knowledge, I know Pranjal has the necessary skills and expertise to perform the duties in a timely manner and I am confident that the same enthusiasm will be applied in every challenge undertaken.
