Hey, I’m Prakash 👋
Software Developer, Builder & Learning in Public
I’m a software developer based in Tamil Nadu, India. I spend my time building modern web applications, exploring developer tools, and documenting everything I learn along the way.
Most of what I build starts with a simple question — how does this work under the hood? I created Prakash Builds as my personal digital laboratory to share software build logs, technical guides, and experiments in public.

My Story & Journey
Starting with Curiosity
My journey in tech began with a deep desire to understand how software works under the hood. Instead of relying on ready-made abstractions, I built things from scratch to learn the core foundations.
Learning in Public
I believe writing down what you learn forces true clarity. Prakash Builds is my open digital laboratory where I share software build logs, tech discoveries, and developer tips in public.
Crafting Useful Tools
I focus on building clean, fast, and thoughtful web applications. From developer utilities to AI-assisted workflows, I enjoy building software that solves practical everyday challenges.
Sharing the Journey
Through articles, short-form feed posts, and open-source repos, I aim to help other developers and builders level up their skills and embrace continuous learning.
My Core Principles
Default to Curiosity
Always ask how something works under the hood before deciding whether to adopt it.
Build to Understand
The single fastest way to master a new concept or framework is to build a real product with it.
Ship Consistently
Consistent daily progress and rapid feedback loops beat waiting for non-existent perfection.
Share Openly
Documenting your breakthroughs and failed experiments in the open creates value for the entire dev community.
Currently Exploring
AI-Assisted Development
Figuring out where AI genuinely speeds up building software, and where it just adds noise.
Next.js & the App Router
Going deep on server components, streaming, and the newer rendering model.
Modern Web Fundamentals
Revisiting the browser platform itself — performance, accessibility, and what's changed.
AI Coding Tools
Running the same feature through different AI-assisted workflows to see what actually holds up.
