Pranjal Kumar

Software Engineer at Bentley Systems. I build the systems that other engineers build on top of.

In the past year, I've shipped an NLP-to-SQL agent that lets teams query databases in plain English (adopted across multiple internal teams), a gRPC client that constructs structural engineering models in real-time via bidirectional streaming, and a micro-frontend integration layer serving Bentley's unified platform across all product lines. I reduced API response times by 60% through batch query optimization and cut 3D model analysis time by 85% with an automated benchmarking pipeline.

I won Bentley's company-wide Architecture Kata; designing an event-driven microservices architecture for real-time trip consolidation across heterogeneous data sources and was recognized by the CTO, Julien Moutte, for the work.
