About

Kaushik Prajapati

I turn business needs into software that works.

I build and improve software that businesses depend on — patient portals, billing systems, booking platforms. My job is to deliver working solutions, connect them to the rest of the business, and keep shipping new capabilities without disruption. I’m a senior PHP/Symfony developer. But beyond the tools, what I deliver is this: I understand your product, your users, and your business — then I build software that makes your company safer and faster to grow. Over a decade with a Dutch product company and international teams, working remotely from India with flexible timezone overlap. Before that, fourteen years at IndiaNIC, growing from developer to senior engineer on commercial platforms. I value long-term product relationships — not short visits.

What I bring to an organisation

  • Continuity. The product stays available while it improves.
  • Clarity. I explain problems, plans, and outcomes in plain language — for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ownership. I pick up a piece of work and see it through.
  • Partnership. Freelance or contract, but I work as part of the team — not as a ticket machine.

How I work

  • Freelance, contract, or B2B — remote from India with flexible timezone overlap
  • I prefer long-term product engagements over short-term projects

Career

LinkORB Engineering (Dutch product company) — senior engineer, freelance / contract. Live products including ZwangerenPortaal.nl, used by millions of new parents in the Netherlands.

IndiaNIC (Ahmedabad, 2007–2021) — developer to senior engineer. End-to-end delivery on commercial web platforms: from understanding the need to a release the client could use.

Intelsoftsolutions (2006) — first professional role. That is where I learned that software only matters if someone can run a business on it.

Tools (when they are useful)

PHP and Symfony for most of the systems I build and maintain. Also MySQL, Docker, CI/CD, and whatever your product already uses — I adapt to your stack, not the other way around. I stay current with modern practices, including AI tools, when they help deliver results.
