Pranav Patel

I am a Backend and DevOps Engineer with over a year of experience leading core infrastructure and product feature delivery in high-growth startups. I specialize in bridging the gap between clean application logic and hardened cloud infrastructure, having single-handedly owned major milestones like migrating seven microservices to Kubernetes via Terraform and ArgoCD, engineering real-time data streaming pipelines with Debezium CDC and Kafka, and implementing Zero Trust database access using Cloudflared Tunnels. Highly proficient in Node.js, Python, Go, and AWS/GCP, I thrive in high-ownership roles focused on engineering excellence, structured planning, and building distributed systems built for genuine scale.
