Hi, I am Prajesh

SDE intern at Amazon and MSCS student at NYU Courant. I build compilers in C++ and OCaml, teach parallel computing, and do security research with OSIRIS Lab.

Amazon

Software Development Intern

I built a Grants Console that tracks every temporary access grant across Amazon Connect, showing exactly who can reach which resources and revoking access as soon as it is no longer needed.

Shell

Software Engineer

I shipped features, API, fixed security vulnerabilities in a commissioning data platform, cut deployment time from 4 hours to under 1 with a CI/CD pipeline, and migrated 50K+ records to SQLite for 3x faster queries.

NYU Courant

Course Assistant

I teach OpenMP, MPI, and CUDA to 100+ students a week in Courant’s parallel computing course, taking them from their first parallel loop to reasoning about races, deadlocks, and why the speedup never quite matches the core count.
