I had a great conversation with Pronnoy on Topmate about navigating visa challenges and building a career in software engineering. He shared incredibly practical insights from his experience at Microsoft, PayPal, and Workday, and his advice helped me gain a clearer perspective on both technical growth and long-term career planning. Pronnoy was thoughtful, approachable, and genuinely interested in helping — I’d highly recommend speaking with him to anyone looking for guidance in their software career.
Hi, I’m Pronnoy — an experienced software engineer and thought leader in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI observability.
I’ve built mission-critical systems at Microsoft Azure (think: the control plane powering container lifecycles), PayPal (filed patents on user-focused fintech experiences), McKinsey, and now Workday, where I’m designing next-gen observability platforms like Pharos and Solas to serve millions of users.
If you’re an aspiring engineer, early-career developer, or a mid-level looking to go deeper into infra, I’m here to help. I offer guidance on:
• Cracking big tech interviews (FAANG/MAANG+)
• Breaking into systems design and infra roles
• Building a personal brand as an engineer
• Technical writing, speaking, and thought leadership
• Navigating work-life in high-performance teams
I also serve as a technical reviewer for Manning, Packt, and IEEE — and I’m always up for thoughtful conversations, reviews, or just helping you debug your path.
Let’s connect, jam on ideas, and level up together.
