> Prakash Kantumutchu (KP) is a technical product manager and hands-on engineer in Faridabad, Delhi NCR, India. His official designation is Technical Product Manager at RVM Beyond Private Limited (RVM CAD), where he owns, leads and architects four platforms: BadaBhai, the RVM CAD Job Portal, the RVM CAD Scheduler and Team RVM. He also builds and runs StrikeHike (strikehike.com) solo.

On this site, "KP" always means Prakash Kantumutchu (also written Kantumutchu Prakash). Every figure on the site is tracked in a claims register with its source and date, and each case study says what its numbers do not prove. Figures below were measured from git, the GitHub API and CI on 28 Oct 2026 unless another date is given.

- Role: Technical Product Manager at RVM CAD since April 2026. The engineers on its four platforms work under him; the case studies credit what colleagues built.
- BadaBhai, an AI placement platform for skilled-trade workers in India, built by a team of three: 840 of its 1,625 merged pull requests are his.
- RVM CAD Job Portal (jobs.rvmcad.org): 399 of its 856 commits on main are his, the most of anyone.
- RVM CAD Scheduler, the operations platform of a four-branch training institute: a colleague built the first version; since his first commit on 30 Apr 2026 its API has grown from 116 to 534 routes.
- Team RVM, RVM CAD's employee self-service Android app: backend live since 16 Oct 2026, with 24 production deploys between 16 and 27 Oct 2026, all green. A closed-testing pilot is next.
- StrikeHike (strikehike.com): a Next.js 16 and FastAPI macro and planetary research site on AWS Lightsail that he builds and runs solo (47 of 47 commits on main). Research, not investment advice; no accuracy is claimed.
- Before software: Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (DGCA Category A AME) at Air India on the Airbus A320 family, Feb 2019 – Jan 2024. Then AIML Engineer at Boven Technologies (Jan 2024 – Aug 2025) and ML-Ops Trainer at Futurense Technologies (Aug 2025 – Apr 2026).
- Education: M.Tech, Cryogenics and Vacuum Technology, NIT Rourkela (2015–17); B.Tech, Mechanical Engineering, JNTU Kakinada (2010–14).
- Open to on-site (Delhi NCR), hybrid and remote roles.
- Not claimed: people management at scale, large-scale operations, model training.

## Case studies

- [Doors, not keys: read-only AI access to production data](https://thisiskp.in/work/ai-read-only-access): two read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE, so an AI assistant can answer operational questions from live systems without a database credential; 11 tools and 141 passing tests on the Job Portal connector (20 Oct 2026); production activation not yet verified
- [An AI trace store that treats its own data as dirty](https://thisiskp.in/work/ai-trace-store): prompts and completions on BadaBhai recorded with AES-256-GCM encryption, erasable per worker and audited before decryption, across six AI call sites (shipped August 2026)
- [The one-page contract: résumés that fail closed](https://thisiskp.in/work/one-page-resume-contract): a deterministic résumé engine; 56 of 56 fixture sheets fit one A4 page, and 32 tests fail if a fact is invented
- [Multi-tenancy without a migration](https://thisiskp.in/work/tenancy-without-a-migration): fifteen business tables re-scoped to the organisation with no new column, no backfill and no API change, with off, shadow and on modes (October 2026); the production mode was not verified
- [StrikeHike, built and run solo](https://thisiskp.in/work/strikehike): how strikehike.com is built and shipped, what it does not claim, and its history
- [Four SaaS prototypes, built by directing AI coding agents](https://thisiskp.in/work/agent-built-saas-prototypes): public repositories with 139, 74, 114 and 153 passing tests (20 Oct 2026); never deployed, no users
