Solution Architecture
HLD and LLD, multi-tier systems, microservices, distributed services, API boundaries, integration architecture, technology selection, scalability and design governance.
Expertise
Technical expertise from architecture decisions through production outcomes.
Pratik combines hands-on engineering with architecture, cloud, delivery, security and operational leadership. The focus is not only selecting technology, but guiding teams from system design and implementation to secure releases, reliable operations and continuous improvement.
Core capabilities
Leadership breadth backed by engineering depth.
These areas reflect applied responsibility across enterprise applications, platform delivery, production readiness and cross-functional technical management.
Engineering & Delivery Leadership
Team leadership, mentoring, roadmap and backlog ownership, RAID/RAG management, dependencies, release planning, CAB/RFC, go-live, hypercare and stakeholder reporting.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
AWS and Azure platforms, AKS/Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, networking, cloud migration, high availability, capacity planning and production infrastructure decisions.
DevOps & Reliability
CI/CD with Jenkins, Git and Bitbucket, deployment controls, ELK, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, production dashboards, RCA/CAPA, BCP/DR and RPO/RTO planning.
Security & DevSecOps
Secure SDLC, VAPT coordination, SAST/DAST/SCA, SonarQube, OWASP practices, audit evidence, vulnerability governance and identity patterns including OAuth, SAML, LDAP, JWT and RBAC.
AI-Assisted Engineering
Claude Code, Gemini, Hermes, LLM APIs, agentic workflows, prompt guardrails, PII handling, output validation and accountable use of AI across engineering work.
Technical foundations
Still close enough to the implementation details.
Architecture and leadership decisions are grounded in practical experience across application code, data, infrastructure and production operations.
Backend & Integration
PHP 8.x, Laravel, CodeIgniter, Go, Python, JavaScript, REST and SOAP APIs, MVC and service-layer design, RabbitMQ and enterprise integration patterns.
Data & Performance
MySQL, PostgreSQL, schema design, indexing, stored procedures, replication, partitioning, connection pooling, migrations, performance tuning and capacity planning.
Platform Operations
Linux, Apache, Nginx, Docker, Kubernetes ingress, SSL/TLS, observability, incident analysis, release readiness and production support across enterprise environments.
Working model
Expertise applied across the delivery lifecycle.
Assess
Understand business goals, system constraints, delivery risks, dependencies, security posture and operational pain points.
Architect
Define system boundaries, integrations, data flows, cloud choices, non-functional requirements and production-readiness criteria.
Deliver
Guide teams through implementation, code and design reviews, CI/CD, quality controls, release governance and stakeholder decisions.
Operate & Improve
Use monitoring, incident learning, performance evidence, security findings and technical-debt priorities to improve the platform.
