Pushkar Patil

I build and deploy cloud solutions.

Background

With a Master’s in Software Engineering from San Jose State University, I specialize in cloud operations, migrations, SAP solutions on AWS/GCP, and deploying microservices on Kubernetes. Also AWS Community Builder and Multi-Cloud Certified.

Throughout my career, I've worked on projects like deploying SAP S/4 HANA on AWS in record time, leading seamless Azure to AWS migrations, optimizing cloud costs with Terraform, and enhancing CI/CD pipelines with GitLab.

When I'm not in the cloud, you'll find me playing the tabla, an instrument I've been mastering for 12 years, or in the kitchen, cooking up flavorful Indian dishes.
