Summary
Pranav Herur is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems across growth, monetization, and integrations domains, currently focusing on AI agents at Podium. He brings a full-stack background—from native iOS apps and front-end JavaScript to backend Java services, Kafka-based sync, and ML/NLP features—and a track record of turning prototypes into production solutions. At SAP Fieldglass he led a multi-tenant-to-single-tenant migration and built an NLP-based supplier recommendation that won hackathon recognition, and at Podium he has shipped self-serve checkout flows, A/B experiments, and automated provisioning to drive revenue. Comfortable working cross-functionally with product and data teams, he combines strong engineering rigor with hands-on experimentation to optimize funnels and prompts. Based in the Greater Chicago Area, he holds a BS in Computer Science from the University of Iowa and is finishing graduate work at UIUC, blending academic depth with practical delivery.
