Build Systems that outlive Trends

Welcome to Prasanna's System Forge!

Started building at 17, scaled systems for a billion-dollar company, led teams, and shipped products most people only talk about. I’ve had failed ventures, brutal pivots, and quiet rebuilds, but I never stopped constructing myself.A strategic thinker, lifelong learner, and unshakeable optimist, I don’t chase trends. I design systems that outlive them.

The Strategic Retreat: Why I'm Seeking a Founding Team

I didn’t leave comfort to be small. I left comfort to be fast. This is not a "job hunt." This is Path B: The Strategic Retreat—a deliberate search for a 0-to-1 build, a high-stakes problem, and a high-density team.

My Goal Is to Outlast Myself

I don’t want to build a startup. I want to build permanence. Everything I’ve done, the wins, the burnouts, the pivots, was just training to design systems that outlive the version of me who built them. This isn’t ambition; it’s compulsion.

Why I Quit a Job Most People dream of in 2025
