Hello, I'm

Charan Puttala

Product & Automation Engineer

I build full-stack products, AI-powered automations, and scalable systems that turn complex business processes into reliable workflows.

About

Product & Automation Engineer

Focused on AI-powered workflows, internal platforms, automation systems, and data-driven business infrastructure.

I build systems end-to-end, from architecture and backend logic to frontend applications, APIs, automation workflows, and data pipelines. My focus is simple: identify operational friction, build reliable solutions, and eliminate unnecessary manual work.

I work across product engineering, workflow automation, AI integrations, databases, and internal tooling, taking projects from idea to production and ongoing optimization.
