Keshav Chouhan is the founder, lead website developer, and technical editor of WaterLakeLevel. He holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA in E-Commerce) and brings more than 7 years of hands-on experience in web development, search engine optimization (SEO), data architecture, and digital publishing.
Based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, Keshav conceptualized WaterLakeLevel after recognizing a critical gap in recreational water data: while federal agencies like the USGS and NOAA publish millions of real-time telemetry readings, the raw data is buried in complex tabular interfaces that everyday boaters, anglers, dock owners, and lakefront property buyers find difficult to interpret.
His engineering philosophy emphasizes:
Keshav is also the founder of MBA Prompt Wala, where he shares practical applications of prompt engineering, technical automation, and web publishing workflows.
As Editor-in-Chief, Keshav Chouhan oversees the automated data pipelines and content verification protocols across all 50 US states. Every article, calculation tool, and lake station candidate undergoes rigorous review:
