Hello, I’m Prachi Joshi — a software developer and technical consultant with 12+ years of experience across game development, mobile apps, backend systems, educational technology, developer tools, and open source.
What I do
I build practical software systems for games, apps, learning platforms, internal tools, and developer-focused products.
My core areas include:
- Game development and game tooling
- Python and C++ development
- Firebase and React Native apps
- HTML5 and cross-platform games
- Educational technology and gamified learning
- Developer tools and internal utilities
- Open source and localization
My journey
I began my career in game development, working full-time on cross-platform game engines, HTML5 games, edutainment products, and mobile/HTML5 casino-style games.
Since 2018, I have worked as an independent software consultant for remote and freelance clients. In these roles, I have handled development, planning, testing, client communication, mentoring, and delivery ownership.
Collaboration network
Alongside my own development work, I work with a trusted network of independent consultants across development, DevOps, game art, QA, and technical support.
For suitable projects, this helps me assemble small, focused teams without the overhead of a large agency.
I was recognized among the Top 25 Game Developers of 2023 by Digital Confex.
I have also served as a jury member for the first and third game jams organized by the Godot India community, and have contributed to game development communities through mentoring, beginner-friendly learning content, and open source localization work.
Current focus
I am currently focused on remote-first software development, game tooling, developer tools, open source infrastructure, and educational technology.
Technologies I work with include Python, C++, Firebase, React Native, Godot, Unity, PixiJS, Pygame, and HTML5 game technologies.
