Summary
Prashant Kothawade is a seasoned software engineer and technical consultant with over 10 years of hands-on experience building and leading development of 2D and 3D CAD products, particularly in footwear design (ShoeMaker) and pattern engineering. He combines deep C/C++ expertise, MFC and OpenGL graphics experience, and a strong background in unit test and automation to deliver robust product features and port legacy codebases. As a former team lead and Scrum master at Delcam and now a Senior Software Technical Consultant at PTC, he has a proven track record managing distributed teams, conducting code reviews, and driving cross-location projects to completion. His practical knowledge extends to AutoCAD customization (AutoLISP/Visual Basic), source control with Mercurial, and tooling like Cygwin, Emacs and Visual Studio—skills that make him effective across both product engineering and platform maintenance. Notably, he has repeatedly turned specialized domain knowledge in shoe design into innovative features (e.g., intelligent cursor, flattening/curve unwrapping) that bridge CAD geometry challenges with user-focused workflows. Based in Pune, he is a quick learner who pairs technical depth with clear communication and long experience in agile delivery.
