About Pavan Kothawade
I’m an engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of systems, security, and scale. I focus on designing and delivering reliable, secure, and scalable software from architecture and development to production.My workflow increasingly embraces AI-augmented development. Tools like Cursor and Copilot help accelerate iteration and exploration, but I see AI as a force multiplier, not a replacement for engineering judgment. Strong fundamentals, clear thinking, and security-aware design remain essential especially in production systems.I’ve worked across frontend, backend, and platform concerns, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to solve complex problems in high-impact environments. I’m motivated by ownership, continuous learning, and turning ambiguous ideas into robust, production-ready solutions particularly in domains where security and correctness are non-negotiable.I enjoy building, mentoring, and sharing learnings around modern engineering practices, system design, and responsible AI usage in software development.Github: https://github.com/pavankothawade
