Pranay Prakash
Engineer. I build developer tools, most recently the Workflow SDK at Vercel. This is where I keep my writing, a few things I've made, and the places you can find me.
Projects
1.7M weekly npm downloads
A durable execution framework for TypeScript. Add "use workflow" and your async functions become resumable and fault-tolerant. No DSL, just JavaScript.
8M installs on VS Code
A VS Code extension to peek and jump to CSS definitions from your HTML classes and IDs. Like "Go to Definition" for stylesheets.
