Pushpak Chhajed

Hey. I'm Pushpak Chhajed. 👋

I’m a tinkerer, hacker, and software engineer from India.

My coding journey started at 2012 when I began customizing Cydia themes for my iPad, which quickly fueled my obsession with computers and the internet. I started learning swift. I shifted to web tech-learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Building websites sparked my passion for creating impactful products. While studying at Mumbai University, I gained hands-on experience at early-stage startups, learning to solve real customer problems and build end-to-end solutions. few of them are Taxvisor and Behtaar.

I dove deep into the Laravel ecosystem while working at Eastern Enterprise ,a Netherlands-based service startup. Even in a service environment, I kept my hacker mindset tinkering with different technologies and tools.The pandemic coincided with my fourth year of university, allowing me to balance my academics with a full-time role at a UK-based fintech startup called Clearglass Analytics . Here, I honed my skills in product engineering,contributing to various teams and building features that improved workflows.

Recently, I participated in a Laracon India hackathon that got my interest in large language models (LLMs). This led to my current role (Senior Software Engineer) at Bigly Sales , where I’m scaling our LLM and Laravel pipeline to automate customer communications, scaling to millions of calls and SMS daily.

As of 2024, my current focus is on:
TypeScript, PHP, Python, Laravel, Inertia, Tailwind, Vue and Nuxt.

When I’m not coding, you can find me reading about the latest trends, or traveling.
I’m always up for a chat or collaboration. Hit me up on Twitter or Email !
