Prajakt Deolasee’s Summary

- 9 years of experience working in product organizations both in the enterprise and consumer space.
- Successfully staffed, mentored and managed high caliber development teams.
- Proven track record in taking an idea from concept to a full fledged product both as a manager and as an individual developer.
- Responsible for building complex server side systems,desktop, mobile application and consumer-focused website.

I understand and am comfortable with the creative freedom and high energy essential in start-ups. At the same time I have an appreciation for lightweight processes required to develop products on-schedule and sustain development as the company grows. I have experienced both these stages and have excelled and made significant contributions in each of them.

I’m a tech enthusiast with an entrepreneurial bent whose primary interest is in programming and application design. At heart, I’m still a developer; my passions lie in coding, designing, architecture but the thrill is in building products.
