Technical expertise, from architecture decisions to production outcomes.
Pratik Purohit combines hands-on engineering with architecture, cloud, delivery, security and operational leadership. The focus is not only choosing technology, but guiding teams from system design and implementation to secure releases, reliable operations and continuous improvement.
Leadership breadth, backed by engineering depth.
Six areas of applied responsibility across enterprise applications, platform delivery, production readiness and cross-functional technical management.
Solution architecture
HLD and LLD, multi-tier systems, microservices, distributed services, API boundaries, integration architecture, technology selection, scalability and design governance.
Architecture skillsEngineering and delivery leadership
Team leadership, mentoring, roadmap and backlog ownership, RAID and RAG management, dependencies, release planning, CAB and RFC, go-live, hypercare and stakeholder reporting.
Delivery skillsCloud and platform engineering
AWS and Azure platforms, AKS and Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, networking, cloud migration, high availability, capacity planning and production infrastructure decisions.
Cloud and DevOps in depthDevOps and reliability
CI/CD with Jenkins, Git and Bitbucket, deployment controls, ELK, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, production dashboards, RCA and CAPA, BCP/DR and RPO/RTO planning.
CI/CD case studySecurity and DevSecOps
Secure SDLC, VAPT coordination, SAST, DAST and SCA, SonarQube, OWASP practices, audit evidence, vulnerability governance and identity patterns including OAuth, SAML, LDAP, JWT and RBAC.
Security and DevSecOps in depthAI-assisted engineering
Claude Code, Gemini, Hermes, LLM APIs, agentic workflows, prompt guardrails, PII handling, output validation and accountable use of AI across engineering work.
AI-assisted engineering in depthStill close enough to the implementation.
Architecture and leadership decisions rest on practical experience with application code, data, infrastructure and production operations.
Backend and integration
PHP 8.x, Laravel, CodeIgniter, Go, Python, JavaScript, REST and SOAP APIs, MVC and service-layer design, RabbitMQ and enterprise integration patterns.
Backend skillsData and performance
MySQL, PostgreSQL, schema design, indexing, stored procedures, replication, partitioning, connection pooling, migrations, performance tuning and capacity planning.
Database skillsPlatform operations
Linux, Apache, Nginx, Docker, Kubernetes ingress, SSL/TLS, observability, incident analysis, release readiness and production support across enterprise environments.
DevOps and platform skillsExpertise applied across the delivery lifecycle.
Four steps, used for employers and consulting clients alike. The same model shapes every consulting engagement.
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 and improve
Use monitoring, incident learning, performance evidence, security findings and technical-debt priorities to improve the platform.
Go deeper.
Each area has its own page, a matching skills group and a case study that shows it in practice.
Cloud and DevOps
AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, CI/CD and migration work, including the move to AWS that raised availability from 82% to 99%.
Security and DevSecOps
Application security, DevSecOps governance and audit coordination, driven from inside engineering delivery.
AI-assisted engineering
Claude Code, Gemini, Hermes and LLM APIs used with guardrails, PII handling and output validation.
