Hey, I’m Dev Prasad – Data Engineer at a Big 4 firm, based in Bengaluru.
I love working with data at scale and handled large-scale data projects, optimized cloud infrastruture, and cut real costs – like reducing AWS spendings by 40%, from ₹2.5 lakhs to ₹1.5 lakhs a month, at my previous firm.
That’s the lens I bring to everything I write: Technology, Finance, and Business – with real numbers attached.
Outside work, I like to do experiments with the trending technologies, using AI Agents to automate my personal tasks and invest in life experiences. I run experiments. Like I invest in IPOs with a fixed ₹30K allocation, split across at least two bets of ₹15K each, and I publish the full ledger – profit, loss or broke, all of it.
I talk to analyze startups and businesses, talk to salaried professionals. People making real decisions with real money. Those conversations, combined with what I see working in data and tech every day, shape everything on this blog.
If you’ve ever wonder how a tech decision becomes a financial one, or how to make smarter calls with the information you already have, then this is for you smartpants.
Blog
Three Lens strategy, Real Numbers and No Fluff.
Most blogs pick a lane, like a niche – tech or finance or businesses. I write at the intersection of all three, because that’s where the real decisions happen.
What you’ll find here:
Technology: Cloud, data engineering, and tools. Not tutorials. Analysis of what it is for, what it costs, what I would do differently.
Finance: Personal and Business Finance with actual rupee figures. Savings, costs, and investment decisions – grounded in reality, not generic advice.
Business: For business owners and operators. Patterns worth noticing, decisions worth rethinking, conversations worth having.
Who this Blog is for:
- Business owners who want to make smarter tech and financial decisions
- Salaried professionals who want to understand where their money and effort actually go.
- Tech enthusiasts who want depth, not surface level content
- Crazy people who are interested on the Business, Emerging Technologies and Money Experiments with real numbers.
My Angle: I’m a practitioner, not a consultant. Everything here comes from real work, real numbers and real conversations.
What I’m building on this blog:
Let me give a quick introduction to the topics I am going to focus in the upcoming days.
- IPO Ledger – I invest ₹30K per cycle across IPOs and publish the full profit/loss record. Every bet, every outcome.
- AI Experiments – Tools and automations I’ve personally built. Like the content review agent I use before publishing anything. Its ruthless, fast and more useful than most human feedback.
- Google Business Profile Guides – Its a recent interest, fascinated by Practical and Best Optimizations. Small business owners who want to show up online without hiring an agency can get real value from this.
