Hi, I'm Lalit Gautam — a software engineer based in Hyderabad, India.
I've spent 8 years building software, currently as an SDE-2 at Amazon, where I've worked on payments infrastructure, automated systems used by thousands of services globally, and developer productivity tooling.
How this started
The Praxels started as a simple idea: whenever I run into a problem in my daily digital life and can't find a tool that solves it cleanly — I build one. Then I share it.
No grand mission statement. No VC pitch. Just a solo engineer who enjoys building things that work.
Why "The Praxels"
Practical Pixels — shortened, merged, and made into something that felt more like a name than a description.
Practical, because everything here solves a real problem. Pixels, because it all lives on a screen.
What's here right now
The Craft Suite — a collection of tools for software engineers who want to go deeper on the fundamentals:
- SystemCraft — system design
- DSA Craft — coming soon
- LLD Craft — coming soon
I built these because I wanted tools that actually matched how I think about these topics. Nothing else did exactly what I wanted.
What's coming
Whatever problem I run into next.
The Craft Suite won't be the only thing here. If I build something useful — for productivity, for developers, for anyone — it'll live under The Praxels.
