Praveen Purushothaman is an Associate Director of UI Core Architecture based in London with 13 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise web applications and front-end platforms. He blends deep front-end craftsmanship (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React) with full-stack expertise across MERN and LAMP stacks, having architected end-to-end solutions and cloud deployments on AWS, Docker and Kubernetes. A former Microsoft MVP and open-source contributor (including contributions to React’s codebase and work on community projects like Codinasion), he mentors bootcamp learners and shapes developer practices through public speaking and technical writing. At Fitch he influences cross-team architecture decisions and builds reference implementations that raise development standards across the organisation. He’s equally obsessive about pixel-perfect UX as he is about robust architecture — a trait reflected in long-running side projects and a technical blog that surfaces practical patterns for real-world teams. Unusually, his background spans both decade-long LAMP leadership and five years of MERN specialization, giving him a rare perspective on evolving web platform trade-offs.
