PranavPradhan

I’m Pranav Pradhan, an engineer and builder focused on developing intelligent systems that bridge data, AI, and automation. My experience spans data engineering, machine learning, and robotics, where I’ve built distributed data pipelines for fintech companies and designed autonomous systems capable of real-time perception and navigation. I’m interested in creating technology that is both technically rigorous and genuinely useful.

At the moment, I’m building Fundsy, an AI-driven platform that simplifies how organizations access non-dilutive funding. Fundsy uses generative models to match startups, researchers, and nonprofits with the right grants and help them craft stronger applications. My work centers on making complex systems more accessible, scalable, and impactful through thoughtful engineering and design.
